Association of lymphocytic (microscopic) colitis with tropical sprue

Abstract Lymphocytic (microscopic) colitis is a disease of unknown aetiology which manifests as long‐standing intermittent diarrhoea. Diagnosis is confirmed on histological examination of the colon. An association of this uncommon disease with tropical sprue is described. Tetracycline therapy resulted in a favourable clinical response.
