AB We review the epidemiology and prevention of and future research
priorities for bacterial enteric infections in persons infected with the
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV-infected persons are more
frequently infected with Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria, and
(possibly) Shigella species than are individuals not infected with HIV.
In addition, Salmonella and (possibly) Campylobacter infections are more
likely to be severe, recurrent, or persistent and associated with
extraintestinal disease when they occur in HIV-infected persons.
Infections caused by Shigella and Vibrio species can also result in more
serious disease in HIV-infected persons than in those not infected with
HIV. Risk of these infections can be reduced with proper precautions,
particularly those pertaining to food hygiene, animal contact, and
travel. Individuals infected with HIV should be informed of their
increased risk of acquiring these diseases and should be counseled on
the recommended precautions.
