Abstract: We describe a patient who had cryptosporidiosis and cytomegalovirus infection of the gastric antrum that was initially detected on computed tomography (CT) scans. CT may be useful in the evaluation of immunocompromised patients with diarrheal illness, as well as in the assessment of the gastrointestinal tract.
