Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of a complicated course of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the colon with the development of phlegmon of the cecum in a patient with HIV infection in the AIDS stage. According to the results of a comprehensive examination, including histological examination, inflammatory bowel diseases and colitis caused by CMVI were excluded. The association with NSAID use was assessed as probable on the Naranjo scale. The outcome of the disease was a dynamic intestinal obstruction caused by phlegmonous colitis, which led to the death of the patient. The purpose of the publication was to draw the attention of specialists to the peculiarities of the course of colitis in HIV-infected patients, the difficulties of differential diagnosis, and risk factors for the development of colon phlegmon.
