 AB    Patients with HIV infection often suffer from opportunistic and
       bacterial infections of the digestive tract. The most common agents are
       Candida albicans, Herpes simplex and Cytomegalovirus, Mycobacterium
       avium intracellulare, Cryptosporidium parvum, and enteropathogenic
       bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter. The diagnosis
       is established by means of microbiological examination of blood and
       faeces, often supplemented by gastrointestinal endoscopy, with mucosal
       biopsies for culture and histology. Most patients respond well to
       specific treatment, but the infections tend to relapse after withdrawal
       of drugs.
