Abstract

The clinical importance of gastrointestinal disorders among patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is enormous. Estimates of gastrointestinal complaints among AIDS patients range from 30% to 90%. Many of these patients may be chronically ill and have multiple simultaneous opportunistic pathogens and neoplasms. The diagnosis and management of serious gastrointestinal complications that often occur in the setting of chronic illness represent major challenges in the care of patients with AIDS.
