Abstract

A case of cholestasis induced by ulcerative papillitis in an 11 month-old boy with AIDS is described. Resolution of cholestasis has been achieved with medical therapy. The authors underline the necessity of repeated endoscopic follow-up to evaluate the risk of secondary papillary stenosis, a complication usually observed in adults.
