Acute acalculous cholecystitis due to Fusarium species and review of the literature on fungal cholecystitis
Authors:Ariel D. Szvalb  Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis
Abstract:
Fungal cholecystitis is an uncommon entity, and no cases of cholecystitis associated with mould infection have been reported. We present a case of acute Fusarium cholecystitis in a cytopenic patient with leukaemia who had disseminated fusariosis. We also review the published cases of fungal cholecystitis, which is most often caused by Candida species. Although it is rare, fungal cholecystitis should be part of the differential diagnosis of acute cholecystitis in high‐risk patients with predisposing factors for opportunistic fungal infections.
Keywords:   Candida     cholecystitis  fungal     Fusarium     mould
