The recent influx of immigrants from Southeast Asia into the United States has increased the likelihood of encountering unusual diseases heretofore rarely seen in this country. Among these disorders is Oriental cholangiohepatitis, a potentially life-threatening process whose early diagnosis is facilitated by roentgenographic findings. Ultrasonography can also provide useful information, although potential pitfalls in diagnosis should be recognized.
最近，东南亚移民大量涌入美国，这增加了遇到该国此前罕见的罕见疾病的可能性。其中一种疾病是东方型胆管肝炎，这是一种可能危及生命的病症，其早期诊断可通过X线检查结果来辅助。超声检查也能提供有用信息，不过应认识到诊断中存在的潜在陷阱。
