Cough may be a manifestation of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary diseases. However, rarely liver disease is suspected as a cause of acute cough. A case of a 34-year-old patient with diagnosed Caroli’s disease has been described, in which cough with fever was the main manifestation of cholangitis in the course of complications of the underlying disease. Caroli’s disease is a congenital pathology of intrahepatic bile ducts, causing their cysts to widen. It usually has an asymptomatic course, however it promotes infectious complications such as liver abscesses and recurrent cholangitis. The patient was admitted to the ward because of high fever and cough, without any symptoms from the digestive system. On the basis of laboratory, microbiological and visual examinations, various causes of cough were excluded and a diagnosis of cholangitis was made. After appropriate antibiotic therapy, a rapid improvement in the clinical condition and resolution of symptoms was achieved.
