AB We report on a 32-year-old homosexual AIDS patient with Crohn's disease
of the ileocecal region. Radiographically the bowel of this region
showed thickening of the wall and moderate narrowing of the lumen.
Sonography showed an enlargement of the mesenterial lymph nodes. Due to
mechanic ileus, ileocecal resection was performed. Histology of the
resected bowel segment revealed extensive inflammatory changes
throughout the wall and deep ulcerations, corresponding to changes in
Crohn's disease. An underlying infection was histologically excluded.
The immunologic aspects of Crohn's disease and of AIDS, and the
differential diagnoses of Crohn's disease in AIDS patients, are
discussed.
