 AB    With the incidence of AIDS being on the rise, diagnostic work-up of
       hepatobiliary disease in these patients is of increasing interest. 57
       x-ray cholangiograms and computed tomographic studies of 13
       AIDS-patients with clinical signs of cholangitis were reviewed. Nine
       patients had abnormal cholangiographic findings. Computed tomography of
       8 patients revealed hepatobiliary disease in six cases. Of three
       patients with cholangiograms reflecting bile duct dilatation of
       neoplastic aetiology, CT was required in two for definite diagnosis.
       Cholangiography is the method of choice for diagnosing AIDS-associated
       cholangitis, whereas computed tomography compares favourably in
       depicting neoplastic disease of the hepatobiliary system. Follow-up of
       AIDS-associated cholangitis usually delineates unchanged radiologic
       findings.
