title: [Acute cholecystogenic suppurative cholangitis].
abstract: The authors discuss the results of clinical, instrumental, and microbiological examinations of 240 patients suffering from purulent cholangitis in acute cholecystitis. Choledocholithiasis was the main cause of the development of purulent cholangitis in 90.8% of patients. A classification of cholangitis and the clinical signs of the disease are dwelt upon. Endoscopic decompression of the biliary tract in the preoperative period is an obligatory condition for performing laparotomic operation. A complex of detoxification measures and general and local (prolonged flow dialysis of the biliary tract) antibacterial therapy are indicated in the postoperative period. All the measures led to decrease of mortality rates in cholecystogenic purulent cholangitis from 19.5 to 6.2%.
