Managing and treating. AIDS-related diarrhea.
Diarrhea is a significant problem for most people with AIDS. Its causes are multifactorial, ranging from infectious organisms to malignancies and functional problems. A thorough evaluation will usually determine the etiology and guide treatment. With HAART, dramatic improvements in immune status have caused a decline in opportunistic infections, including those that cause diarrhea. It is a sign of hope for all patients with HIV.
