Necrotizing Cholecystitis in the Gallbladder: A Case Report

Infections caused by Candida species have shown a considerable increase in frequency in the recent past, and hence they are a cause of significant concern among medical practitioners. There are many factors that contribute to the occurrence of Candida-related infections in particular groups of patients. In this report, we present a case that highlights the causes and appropriate treatment methods of the condition. Patients with acute necrotizing cholecystitis often show poor outcomes after treatment, and hence physicians need to be alert when dealing with patients with this condition and should provide the best treatment method. We report a case of necrotizing cholecystitis in a 55-year-old female with a medical history of cholelithiasis, obesity, seizures, cocaine abuse, and anemia. She also reported lower abdominal pain, felt bloated, and complained of headache, dizziness, lack of appetite, shortness of breath, and vomiting. The patient underwent several lab tests as well as a CT scan of the abdomen, hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan, endoscopy, and cholecystectomy.
