 AB    The scope and importance of biliary infections from both a clinical and
       scientific perspective is rapidly changing. During this past year,
       considerable attention in the literature has focused on infections that
       are increasing in frequency in the United States and throughout the
       world, as a result of evolving demographics and continued spread of the
       acquired immunodeficiency syndrome epidemic. Pyogenic cholangitis
       remains a challenge for us to treat and significant controversy remains
       regarding optimal management. The myriad hepatobiliary manifestations of
       human immunodeficiency virus infection have led to a resurgence in the
       interest in parasitic and viral infections. Our understanding of
       infections and their pathogenesis and sequelae has progressed, although
       there are still many important questions that remain unanswered.
