Abstract
The incidence of HIV infected patients that undergo either elective or emergency open surgery is growing. Within the multiple infective and neoplastic complications of HIV infection, abdominal involvement plays a major role and among this, intestinal tbc and atypical mycobacteriosis are becoming very frequent. The authors herein report a case of surgically treated intestinal mycobacteriosis.
