Overview
Although reestablishing biliary drainage is the main focus of treatment, antibiotics play an important role in the management of cholangitis.
Primary Prevention
- There are no established measures for the primary prevention of cholangitis in otherwise healthy people.
- Treatment of gallstones, tumors, and infestations of parasites may reduce the risk for some people.
- Patients undergoing ERCP should have prophylactic antibiotics.
- Patients with compromised biliary systems prone to developing recurrent cholangitis may benefit from antibiotic maintenance therapy, given daily in lower-than-therapeutic dosages.[1]
