Gastrointestinal Disorders in HIV	2009-05-15		.txt	text/plain	5861	304	46	The evaluation of the HIV patient with gastrointestinal complaints requires a thorough history and physical exam, in addition to selected studies, in order to diagnose the correct disease and treat accordingly. However, with the introduction of protease inhibitors (PIs) in 1996 and ART, and the decreased incidence of AIDS, more esophageal complaints in HIV these days are related to common etiologies like gastroesophageal refl ux disease (GERD) than opportunistic infections. 5 In addition to the most common symptoms of dysphagia and odynophagia, other symptoms can also suggest esophageal disease in HIV patients, like chest pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and weight loss. This is generally because of opportunistic infections, and, similar to other pathologies in HIV patients, the incidence of enteritis has decreased in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) era. Gastrointestinal histoplasmosis appears to be the most commonly described fungal etiology of diarrhea in HIV patients, and typically occurs in the Colitis setting of a systemic infection.	./cache/cord-023729-dipjubn7.txt	./txt/cord-023729-dipjubn7.txt
