Abstract
Intractable diarrhoea in infancy is defined as diarrhoea persisting for more than 2 weeks in infants up to 3 months of age and requiring parenteral nutrition. It is often a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for paediatricians. The following case report suggests that, once the most common diagnoses for this age group have been excluded, a cause of persistent diarrhoea that is usually overlooked and neglected such as cytomegalovirus enterocolitis should be always kept in mind.
