Pneumatosis intestinalis in a child with AIDS and pseudomembranous colitis.
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) was first reported in three children and one adult with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in 1990. The microorganisms cultured from these patients included Cryptosporidium, rotavirus, cytomegalovirus, and Pseudomonas. We report the fourth child with AIDS and PI, and the first with PI to be associated with Clostridium difficile colitis.
