Abstract
Abstract
Three patients are described who were admitted to hospital with septicaemic shock due to gallstones, but in none of whom had the presence of gallstones been diagnosed previously. All 3 had positive blood cultures, Clostridium welchii being isolated in one patient (in another patient this organism was isolated from the bile). Two patients had renal failure requiring dialysis. All 3 patients survived. The management of this serious presentation of gallstones, hitherto poorly described in British literature, is discussed.
