title: [Liver involvement in HIV infection and various parasitic diseases].
abstract: During the course of systemic infections, the liver is an organ which is frequently involved. The pathology of the human immunodeficiency virus with all its infections, opportunistic tumours and some parasitoses, such as amebiasis, kala-azar, hydatidosis, schistosomiasis and fascioliasis, evolve into hepatic compromise. This development is what we attempt to summarise.
