Abstract
Two children with cancer received azithromycin for Cryptosporidium-associated diarrhea that was unresponsive to supportive care. One child had choleriform diarrhea requiring daily fluid replacement of up to 65% of his total body weight; the other had protracted diarrhea and wasting. In both cases, administration of azithromycin was followed by prompt clinical improvement.Entities:
