Abstract
Stone formation in the biliary system is a rare condition in infants. A few cases of bile stones in the biliary tree have been reported with underlying predisposing factors, such as sepsis and antibiotic usage. This article describes a surgically treated 16-week-old infant with recurrent cholangitis who had a bile stone in the hepatic duct after chlamydia sepsis.
