● Small bowel infections are associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, smooth muscle tumors, other infectious disorders (must look for them / rule them out)
● 30-60% with HIV infection historically had diarrhea and either malabsorptive symptoms with villus atrophy or colitis resembling ulcerative colitis
● Even with HAART therapy, small bowel infections may still include cytomegalovirus, cryptosporidia, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infections and Microsporidia (Hum Pathol 2010;41:1777, Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo 2012;54:89)
