AB The gastrointestinal tract is the largest lymphoid reservoir of the body
and is subject to damage that compromises the cellular and humoral
defense mechanism. With the increasing numbers of patients infected with
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS), health-care practitioners need to be familiar with
infections that affect the gastrointestinal tract. These infections
cause severe morbidity and sometimes even death in immunocompromised
patients. This article reviews the diagnosis and management of
gastrointestinal infections in the immunocompromised patient.
