Can viral infection cause gallbladder disease?

Not likely: Typical gb disease is caused from precipitation of chemicals into stones. It is unlikely that a viral infection could change this chemical imbalance to make the precipitation more likely. In addition, there has never been any evidence to show that a viral infection could induce the gallbladder to stop working appropriately as in a dysfunctional gallbladder.

Sometimes : Or it may manifest after a viral illness. Takes gallstones about a year to develop.
