title: [Importance of artificial nutrition in the resolution and etiologic diagnosis of severe chronic diarrhea: a propos of a case].
abstract: We present a case of severe chronic diarrhea requiring parenteral nutritional support to both cover the nutritional needs and allow for intestinal rest for later adaptation to enteral nutrition, altogether allowing for the etiologic diagnosis and disease healing.
