[Clinical forms of cholangiogenic infection in surgical practice]. / Klinicheskie formy kholangiogennoi infektsii v khirurgicheskoi praktike.

The acute cholangiogenic infection may have a favorable course or acquire a purulent or septic form. Chronic cholangiogenic infection often having subclinical features is sometimes septic and is responsible for the transition of bacterial cholangitis from the complication to the independent disease. Of greatest significance are septic forms of cholangiogenic infection because of high lethality. The diagnosis and treatment of cholangiogenic infection include the determination of the character of bile duct obstruction, state of immunity, character of microflora and kind of toxemia.
