 AB    We describe the case of an Asian man with AIDS who was shown to have CMV
       as the cause of his severe small bowel disease. The diagnosis was made
       by finding CMV inclusions in his terminal ileum. He responded well to a
       three week course of ganciclovir and then relapsed two weeks later as i
       maintenance treatment was not given. On repeat induction with
       ganciclovir he again responded with reduction in severity of his pain
       and diarrhoea. He is currently on maintenance ganciclovir, but is still
       troubled by diarrhoea and pain. We discuss CMV and bowel disease in
       AIDS.
