- Abstract
A well-documented case of cytomegalovirus- and Cryptosporidium-associated cholecystitis is described in a 19-year-old heterosexual Haitian man who had the acquired immune deficiency syndrome and acute acalculous gangrenous cholecystitis associated with these pathogens. This case adds to the spectrum of the manifestations of the profoundly immunocompromised state.
