Overview
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of cholangitis in otherwise healthy people, Giving antibiotics in people undergoing biliary procedures like endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may benefit from antibiotics.
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][2]
