Abstrakt: We herein report a 30 years old male patient with AIDS and Cryptosporidium diarrhea diagnosed by intestinal biopsy. After some days of unsuccessful conventional anti-diarrheal treatment, an analog of somatostatin (octreotide acetate) Sandostatin was started. The stool volume and the bowel movements decreased dramatically and in spite of some collateral effects the patient could be clinically improved and discharged from the hospital.
