ABSTRACT
Caroli's disease is an uncommon congenital malformation involving the intrahepatic bile ducts. This paper reports two cases presenting with biliary tract infection. Diagnosis was established by non-invasive imaging and cholangiography. The infecting organisms were cultured from bile obtained by percutaneous aspiration and the results were used to direct antimicrobial therapy. The role of antibiotics and other management options in preventing recurrent infection is discussed.
