Presently Dengue appears with its varied features of presentation and progression. We report a case of acalculus cholecystitis in DHF from department of medicine, Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka. The patient presented with fever and diarrhea later developing abdominal pain. Her platelet counts were low and Dengue antibody test (Ig M) was positive with altered liver enzymes. Ultrasound showed thick walled gall bladder with clear lumen without stone or sluge, a feature of acute acalculous cholecystitis. The patient was successfully managed conservatively.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2017; 35(3): 155-157

AbstractInfectious mononucleosis is typically a self-limited viral infection of adolescence and early adulthood that resolves in a period of weeks, causing no major sequelae. We describe a case of a healthy 18-year-old female diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis who also presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, moderate transaminitis, and cholestatic biochemistry. An ultrasound revealed acute acalculous cholecystitis, generally a condition seen in the context of critical illness. Further investigating emergency department patients with infectious mononucleosis is often not indicated, but may be important for those who present atypically.

Gall bladder perforation is a rare but serious complication of acute cholecystitis. Gall bladder perforations commonly occur in patients with comorbidities and in association with gall stones. We report a rare occurrence of intrahepatic type II perforation of the gall bladder in a previously healthy elderly male with acalculous cholecystitis. Lack of early positive findings related to clinical assessment, laboratory workup, and imaging resulted in a challenging diagnosis. High degree of clinical suspicion and close monitoring in such patients is necessary to detect early deterioration and improve outcomes.
