Chronic diarrhoea among HIV-infected adult patients in Nairobi, Kenya	2004-10-29		.txt	text/plain	3175	194	49	We undertook a prospective cross-sectional study of adult patients admitted to a government hospital in Nairobi, Kenya, to determine possible bacterial, mycobacterial, parasitic and viral causes of diarrhoca; to consider which may be treatable; and to relate microbiological findings to clinical outcome. METHODS: Stool specimens from 75 consecutive HIV-seropositive patients with chronic diarrhoca admitted to a Nairobi hospital were subjected to microbiological investigation and results were compared with clinical findings and outcome. CONCLUSIONS: HIV-infected patients with chronic diarrhoea in Nairobi have a poor outcome overall, and even with extensive investigation a putative pathogen was identified in only just over half the patients. We undertook a 4-month study in Nairobi, Kenya, to determine possible bacterial, viral and parasitological causes of chronic diarrhoea and wasting using a broad range of investigations and related findings to patient outcome.	./cache/cord-008672-luoxomif.txt	./txt/cord-008672-luoxomif.txt
