Abstract
Summary: A 33 year old man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome developed a toxic megacolon. The patient was admitted with a two month history of diarrhoea. Cryptosporidia were isolated from all stool specimens. Clinically and radiographically he developed toxic dilatation of the colon which responded to conservative management.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
