Immunodeficiency syndromes and the gut

M E Ament. Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl. 1985.

Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract in immunodeficiency disorders is involved with diseases similar to those seen in the immune competent. However, in some immune deficient states the incidence of gastrointestinal disease is high whereas in others it is no different than in the general population. This review clarifies the unique and specific abnormalities seen in immune deficient states and stresses the newest recognised abnormalities. It highlights the fact that the most frequent and severe abnormalities occur in patients with combined immune deficient states.
