Article Synopsis
- Acute acalculous cholecystitis (AAC) is a severe inflammation of the gallbladder without gallstones, showing a high mortality rate of 30-50%, and its link to COVID-19 is poorly understood.*
-
- The study examined 3 patients with AAC resulting from COVID-19 and analyzed 23 relevant studies, finding a mean patient age of 64.7 years, with common symptoms like fever and abdominal pain, and many patients had underlying conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.*
-
- Results indicated that AAC can occur before, after, or concurrently with COVID-19 pneumonia; the majority of cases were severe (grade II), and treatments included surgery for over half of the patients
