[Biliary diseases in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Apropos of 2 cases]

Biliary complications have recently been reported in patients with AIDS. This may take the form of acalculous cholecystitis or more commonly cholangitis, which may or may not be associated with stenosis of the papilla. These conditions must be sought in patients presenting with right hypochondrial pain and elevated alkaline phosphatase. Infection with Cryptosporidium or cytomegalovirus is often associated.
