Abstract

Acute hepatitis A virus infection is routinely identified through a thorough patient history in conjunction with liver chemistries and viral serologies. The diagnosis has the potential to be delayed when the clinical picture is obscured with another, seemingly more urgent presenting pathology with overlapping features. Here, we describe the case of a young female who presented with acute calculous cholecystitis with concurrent acute hepatitis A virus infection.
