    Abstract

    Background: Gallstones are frequently linked to the inflammatory gallbladder illness known as acute cholecystitis (AC). In addition to occurring in surgical procedures, it can be the cause of up to 5% of ED visits. The majority of patients arrive with fever and pain in the right upper quadrant (RUQ). Furthermore, complex intra-abdominal infection is regarded as the second most common cause of AC, accounting for 18.5% of cases. Female sex, obesity, pregnancy, and being in one's forties are risk factors for AC.
