title: Recurrent pyogenic cholangiohepatitis.
abstract: Three cases of complicated oriental cholangiohepatitis are described in patients of Asian origin. The development of high biliary strictures in two patients required liver resection; in the third patient the process was complicated by a presumed bile duct malignancy. Oriental cholangiohepatitis may be expected in UK surgical practice given the increased frequency of migration from Asia.
