Opportunistic infections are the most frequent causes of gastrointestinal disease in patients with AIDS. A practical approach based on the character of the complaints and location of symptoms will help direct the most appropriate evaluation. In most patients, a diagnosis should be sought because effective antimicrobial therapy is available for most infections in these patients. When possible, improvement in immune function forms an integral part of the treatment regimen.
