Enteropathy in HIV infection.
Enteropathy occurs frequently in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and symptoms related to the gut are a major cause of debility. The pathogens associated with disease are diverse, often difficult to detect, and frequently poorly responsive to any therapeutic intervention. This brief review examines HIV-related enteropathy from the perspective of symptomatology, and discusses some of the recent advances in diagnosis of specific gut disorders.
