| Main Objective: Evaluation of the neccessary duration of antibiotic therapy for patients with acute uncomplicated cholangitis.;Secondary Objective: To compare the length oth the actual hospital stay among patients receiving a short or a long course of antibiotic therapy. To compare the mortality, the rate of complications and the rate of relapses among patients receiving a short or a long course of antibiotic therapy. To compare the rate of isolated fluoroquinolone resistant bacteria among patients receiving a short or a long course of antibiotic therapy. To dertermine the clinical course ot patients during the non-randomized i.v. treatment with moxifloxacin. To meassure the biliary concentration of moxifloxacin in specimens obtained during ERCP. ;Primary end point(s): Primary enpoint of the trial is the combined rate of relapses, complications and death in the 28 days following the initial hospital admission. | — |
