Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Two children with cancer received azithromycin for Cryptosporidium-associ- ated diarrhea that was unresponsive to supportive care. One child had choler- iform diarrhea requiring daily fluid replacement of up to 65% of his total body weight; the other had protracted diarrhea and wasting, in both cases, adminis- tration of azithromycin was followed by prompt clinical improvement.
