Gastric tuberculosis: a manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. 1986

J M Brody, and D K Miller, and R K Zeman, and R S Klappenbach, and M H Jaffe, and L R Clark, and S B Benjamin, and P L Choyke

A Haitian man with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), fever, malaise, and diarrhea is described. A computed tomographic (CT) scan showed a retrogastric mass with an associated ulcer. An upper gastrointestinal tract study showed an ulcer with both benign and malignant features. Endoscopy revealed a malignant-appearing ulcer, but cultures and histologic examinations of surgical biopsy specimens indicated gastric tuberculosis. The relationship between tuberculosis and AIDS is discussed.
