title: Pulmonary cryptosporidiosis occurring in a bone marrow transplant patient.
abstract: We describe what is believed to be the first bone marrow transplant patient, a 32-year-old man, in whom pulmonary cryptosporidiosis was associated with terminal respiratory failure. The diagnosis, treatment and postmortem histology are discussed together with a brief review of the literature.
