title: [Acute necrotizing cholecystitis in infancy: report of a case].
abstract: We present a case-report of a six weeks old premature baby who developed acute acalculous gangrenous cholecystitis related to septicemia due to Citrobacter freundii. We analyze other etiological factors and remark the importance of physical examination and ultrasonographic exploration of the biliary tract. Early cholecystectomy is suggested.
