Abstract

We report a case of 14 years old girl who presented with intractable diarrhoea, low-grade irregular fever, multiple
painful oral ulcers, recurrent boils over different parts of the body for 1 year, and weight loss for 6 months. Previously
she was erroneously diagnosed as intestinal tuberculosis. The patient did not respond to antitubercular drugs. She also
got prednisolone and mesalamine as the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. Now she is diagnosed as a case of
AIDS-stage 3. We describe the case and discuss its clinical and biochemical findings with treatment.
