- Abstract
The article presents a case study of an 88-year-old woman who has an abdominal pain and history of end-stage renal disease and liver cirrhosis. It states that a computed tomography of the abdomen and sonography have confirmed the presence of bilateral intrahepatic duct stones with general dilatation of the biliary tract, which was caused by Vibrio fluvialis, a curved gram-negative rod. It also says that a piperacillin-tazobactam was administered under the impression of biliary tract infection.
