Enteric Diseases

  • Chapter
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIH

Part of the book series: Infectious Disease ((ID))

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the largest lymphoid organ in the human body and, therefore, any defects in the cellular and/or humoral immune responses may be indicators of a strong disposition to a multitude of enteric viral, bacterial, protozoan, and fungal pathogens (1). The identification of enteric pathogens in the GI tract has been especially important in patients with AIDS, where the HIV-induced immunodeficiency greatly increases the possibility of opportunistic infections (2).
