What Is Cholecystitis?
3. Infection
Modern medicine makes us relatively safe from infections nowadays, but we are still not completely safe from them. They can happen even in the healthiest of people and, when they do, they sometimes have the potential to do a lot of damage. They are also able to infect pretty much any part of the body, and the gallbladder is no exception.
Some viral infections in particular can cause an infection of the gallbladder. When this happens, the gallbladder may become inflamed as a result. This can result in a variety of unwelcome symptoms, and it can also result in cholecystitis. People with AIDS are particularly prone to such infections.
