TI Elective colostomy closure in an AIDS patient.

AB This article describes a 27-year-old patient with acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who underwent emergency sigmoid
colostomy, Hartmann's pouch, and presacral drainage for rectal
perforation. Three months later, he underwent uneventful elective
colostomy closure, a procedure previously unreported in an AIDS patient.
He remained without gastrointestinal symptoms for 14 months after
colostomy closure until he died from central nervous system
toxoplasmosis. A diagnosis of AIDS alone should not preclude colostomy
closure in AIDS patients.
