Abstract

Intestinal cryptosporidiosis commonly results in severe protracted diarrhea that contributes significantly toward morbidity and mortality in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. No satisfactory therapy for cryptosporidiosis currently exists. We describe a patient with severe secretory diarrhea and malabsorption who had clinical, microbiologic, and histologic resolution of cryptosporidiosis after therapy with zidovudine.
