title: Sclerosing cholangitis rapidly following anti-HIV-1 seroconversion.
abstract: A 22 year old man developed sclerosing cholangitis within two months of documented HIV-1 seroconversion. Sclerosing cholangitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of causes of abdominal pain and raised alkaline phosphatase enzyme levels in HIV-1 antibody positive patients without established CDC stage IV disease.
