Abstract
A 33-year-old African man with HIV/AIDS presented with an acute abdomen associated with rectal bleeding. Colonic decompression, appendicectomy and post operative antiviral therapy for a diagnosed CMV colitis/ megacolon and appendicitis complicating AIDS was effective and avoided the morbidity and high mortality from an emergency subtotal colectomy and ileostomy.
