Two children, aged 15 months and 3 years, developed abdominal distension following proven Cryptosporidium enteritis. Both required readmission to hospital and both improved rapidly, one spontaneously and one with the help of an enema. The association of abdominal distension and Cryptosporidium infection has not been described previously.
