A retrospective administrative database analysis of the association between clonorchiasis or helminthiasis and the development of cholelithiasis.

CONCLUSION: Clonorchiasis is related to the development of not only gallstones but also bile duct stones, and helminthiasis is only associated with the development of gallstones. However, the case number of PI is rare in Taiwan and it requires more international studies to clarify the association between helminthiasis and bile duct stones.
