[Primary intestinal tuberculosis in AIDS]

We describe an emergency situation with gross gastrointestinal bleeding in a twenty-seven year old drug addicted female. Colonoscopy and histological examination of the biopsies were the main diagnostic procedure to locate an extrapulmonary manifestation of a mycobacterium-tuberculosis-infection.
