We experienced 3 cases of intrahepatic duct stones detected on plain radiographs. The patients had history of multiple episodes of recurrent cholangitis. Radiographic characteristics of these stones included multiple, round or rectangular radioopaque densities surrounded by calcified rim; these densities showed a branching pattern along the intrahepatic ducts.

Background:
Acute cholangitis (AC) in children is a rare but life-threatening infection. Symptoms vary from mild to severe disease. There are no local published data on pediatric AC.
Objective:
To determine the clinical, biochemical, ultrasonographic, microbiologic features, and treatment outcome of pediatric patients with definite AC.
Methodology:
Cross-sectional study using medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with definite AC based on the Modified Tokyo Guidelines of 2018 admitted from January 2016 to June 2021.
Results:
Twenty-seven patients aged 0 to 18 years old (10.06 + 7.34), predominantly male (51.85%) were included. Choledocholithiasis (22%) and post-Kasai biliary atresia (22%) were the common underlying biliary conditions. Fever (88.89%) was the most frequent presenting symptom. Majority were classified as moderate AC (40.74%). Leukocytosis (mean 16×109/L), elevated inflammatory markers (93.33% with CRP >12mg/L and 100% with serum procalcitonin >0.25ng/mL), hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin 192.54±126.87umol/L) and elevated alanine transferases (mean 59 IU/L) were noted. Twenty-one out of 27 cases (87%) had a negative blood culture. Only 4 patients underwent bile culture, of which two (50%) grew Klebsiella pneumoniae resistant to empiric antibiotics. Dilated biliary ducts were observed on abdominal ultrasound in 92.59% of patients. Ampicillin-sulbactam (29.63%) was the most commonly utilized antibiotic. Discharge rate was high (88.89%).
Conclusions
AC affects all pediatric age groups but clinical presentations vary. Drug resistant organisms are a significant concern but despite this, favorable outcomes have been documented.
