[Terminal ileitis due to cryptosporidium and cytomegalovirus in a patient with AIDS].
Terminal patients with infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), gastrointestinal affection is frequently observed, caused by many etiological agents. However, the affection of the terminal ileon is and generally associated to cytomegalovirus (CMV), intracellular Mycobacterium avium (IMA) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We present a patient diagnosed of AIDS with clinical signs of chronic diarrhea secondary to terminal ileitis by Cryptosporidium and CMV. We discuss the radiological and hystological findings and the potential pathogenic synergism.
