Ett syndrom, kännetecknat av kronisk, ständig diarré (som varat mer än en månad) utan påvisbar infektionsorsak hos en HIV-positiv person. Tarmsjukdomen antas bero på direkta eller indirekta effekter av HIV på tarmslemhinnan. HIV-enteropati är en uteslutningsdiagnos som kan ställas först sedan andra diarrésjukdomar kunnat avfärdas.
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.
