Charcot's cholangitis triad : fever with chills, jaundice and abdominal pain
Intermittent pain. Fever with chills . Fluctuating jaundice.
Charcot's cholangitis triad is the combination of jaundice; fever, usually with rigors; and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. It occurs as a result of ascending cholangitis (an infection of the bile duct in the liver). When the presentation also includes low blood pressure and mental status changes, it is known as Reynolds' pentad. It is named for Jean-Martin Charcot.
Charcot described a triad describing some of the clinical signs of multiple sclerosis: nystagmus, intention tremor, and dysarthria. These signs are, however, not considered to be pathognomonic. This triad is sometimes referred to as 'Charcot's triad 1' or as 'Charcot's neurologic triad' to differentiate it from the more commonly used Charcot's triad of acute cholangitis.
Charcot's triad of cerebellar lesion include dysarthria,nystagmus.intention tremors.
