Summary

Selective cannulation and aspiration of bile prior to ERCP may be helpful in bacterial contamination (suppurative cholangitis), in patients with choledocholithiasis, to determine lithogenicity of bile, and in studies where antibiotic concentration of different substances are analyzed in correlation to hepato-biliary diseases. Results of appropriate examinations are presented.

Key words:

Bile - Bacteria - Lithogenicity - Antibiotics
