 AB    An unusual case of necrotizing enterocolitis secondary to invasive
       candidiasis in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is reported. Computed
       tomography showed significant small bowel dilatation, high density
       intestinal contents, extensive ileal pneumatosis intestinalis, and air
       in the intrahepatic branches of the portal vein. Mucosal ulcerations and
       extensive transmural necrosis associated with invasive candidiasis were
       detected in the distal ileum and right colon in the resected pathology
       specimen.
