Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract is one of the most involved organs by HIV/AIDS, with lesions in the mesentery, peritoneum and retroperitoneum. HIV/AIDS related gastrointestinal diseases can be divided into two types, including inflammations and neoplasms, such as CMV infection and KS. These diseases can involve all kinds of tissues in the digestive system. For instances, Candida mainly invades oral cavity and esophagus, while protozoa infection often involves colon to cause chronic diarrhea. KS commonly occurs in esophagus, followed by the small intestine and colon in frequency of occurrence. Lymphomas mostly occur in small intestine and colon.
