Acute Cholecystitis in AIDS Patients: Correlation of Tc-99m Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy with Histopathologic Laboratory Findings and CD4 Counts

BACKGROUND:AIDS patients are susceptible to opportunistic gastrointestinal infections including ascending cholangitis and cholecystitis, especially if CD4 count is 200 and all had calculous cholecystitis. The gallbladder was visualized in 3 patients for a sensitivity of 63% and no organisms were fou...
