 AB    Intractable diarrhea in a 40-year-old woman with terminal acquired
       immunodeficiency syndrome resulted from adenovirus infection of the
       duodenal mucosa. Electron microscopic examination of a duodenal biopsy
       specimen performed because of clinical suspicion of cryptosporidiosis or
       microsporidiosis showed pathognomonic viral particles in the nuclei of
       mucosal epithelium. Extensive sloughing of damaged mucosal cells may
       have contributed to the diarrhea, for which no other cause was found
       during either pathologic or microbiologic analysis.
