RESUMO
A coinfecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) e pelo Mycobacterium tuberculosis pode elevar em 25 vezes o risco de desenvolver a tuberculose-doença. Mesmo assim, o comprometimento do cólon pela tuberculose é extremamente incomum. Relatamos um caso de paciente HIV positivo com tuberculose colônica.
