The bacterial specter of the infection is analyzed alongside with the classification and staging of acute cholangitis. Current treatment of acute cholangitis is related to the high-priorirty, widespread use of endoscopic methods of biliary decompression. Emergency surgical treatment is associated with high mortality.
