During the endoscopic examination the gastric mucosa was very swollen and hyperemic and inflammation in pylorus with bilious reflux. During the procedure, the duodenal mucosa was grossly swollen and hyperemic; suggesting enanthematous pangastritis and duodenitis. The histopathological evaluation revealed chronic superficial gastritis fundic discrete foveolar hyperplasia; pyloric mucosa with superficial epithelial bodies with Cryptosporidium sp; surface fragments of intestinal villi with rare forms compatible with Cryptosporidium sp.
