Esophagitis is an inflammation of the gullet (esophagus), the path of food from the mouth to the stomach. In individuals infected with HIV, this disease occurs due to fungal infection (fungal candidiasis) or viral (herpes simplex-1 or cytomegalovirus). He also can be caused by mycobacteria, although rare cases .
Chronic diarrhea that can not be described in HIV infection may occur due to various causes, including bacterial and parasitic infections are common (such as Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, Campylobacter, and Escherichia coli), as well as unusual opportunistic infections and viruses (such as cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, and cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is a cause of colitis).
In some cases, diarrhea occurred as a side effect of medications used to treat HIV, or side effects of primary infection (primary) from HIV itself. In addition, diarrhea can also be a side effect of antibiotics used to treat bacterial diarrhea (eg Clostridium difficile). In the later stages of HIV infection, diarrhea is an indication of expected changes to the way the digestive tract absorbs nutrients, and may be an important component in the exhaust system associated with HIV.
