Brief Summary

41-year-old previously healthy patient presented with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Pain started two days prior to presentation when an abdominal ultrasound in a peripheral hospital showed a 10 mm gallbladder stone with normal laboratory tests; however, her pain was resolved on analgesics. Now the pain was persistent and associated with vomiting and laboratory tests showed elevated bilirubin. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiography was done that showed inflamed gallbladder but with no stones and normal cholangiography. Day one post-operation, while the pain resolved, labs showed elevated liver function tests and hepatitis workup showed acute HAV infection attributing her presentation to HAV induced AAC.
