Bacterial Infection in etiology of Pigment Gallstones
Keywords:
pigment stones, bactobilia
Abstract
Brown pigment stones are an important cause of acute cholangitis in Oriental Cholangiohepatitis. Bacterial infection and the deconjugation of bile by bacterial b-Glucourindase have been implicated as etiological factors in formation of brown pigment stones but controversy exists regarding their primary importance and causal relationship.
