Tree Number(s): C01.221.250.875.398; C01.221.812.640.400.480; C01.778.640.400.480; C01.925.782.815.616.400.398; C01.925.813.400.480; C06.405.469.400; C12.100.937.640.400.480; C20.673.480.480
Unique ID: D019053
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019053
Scope Note: A syndrome characterized by chronic, well-established DIARRHEA (greater than one month in duration) without an identified infectious cause after thorough evaluation, in an HIV-positive individual. It is thought to be due to direct or indirect effects of HIV on the enteric mucosa. HIV enteropathy is a diagnosis of exclusion and can be made only after other forms of diarrheal illness have been ruled out. (Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 13th ed, pp1607-8; Haubrich et al., Bockus Gastroenterology, 5th ed, p1155)
