Overview
Cholangitis must be differentiated from other causes of infection in the common bile duct, as well as inflammation and infection of cholecystitis.

- Acute cholecystitis
- Acute hepatitis
- Acute pancreatitis
- Biliary stricture
- Cancer of the common bile duct
- Cholestatic liver disease
- Cirrhosis
- Duodenal ulcer
- Gastic ulcer
