Cholecystitis associated with Enterobacter agglomerans.
A case report of chronic cholecystitis due to Enterobacter agglomerans, occurred in a 54-year old female with homozygous beta-thalassemia. The patient responded successfully to cholecystectomy and sulfamethoxazole + trimetroprim therapy. The source of the infection was not known, however, cystic duct obstruction and immune deficit were thought to be the predisposing causes.
