Abstract
When scleroderma involves the small intestines, malnutrition with resulting immune incompetence and sepsis can occur. Two cases are presented in which patients with scleroderma involving the gastrointestinal tract were treated with cyclic home hyperalimentation, restoring their nutritional status and improving their quality of life.
