Cryptosporidial and cytomegaloviral hepatitis and cholecystitis.
We describe an immunosuppressed patient with enteric cryptosporidiosis who developed combined cryptosporidial and cytomegaloviral hepatitis and cholecystitis as well as Enterobacter cloacae cholecystitis. To our knowledge, the presence of Cryptosporidium in a liver biopsy specimen has not previously been reported.
