Gastrointestinal Viral Infections in Homosexual Men Who were Symptomatic and Seropositive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus	1988-08-17		.txt	text/plain	2268	120	45	Gastrointestinal viruses, predominantly rotaviruses and adenoviruses, were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, electron microscopy, or cell culture in >50% of two groups of homosexual men with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, who did (54%) or did not (50%) have diarrhea. We report here the detection of viruses from the stools of a large proportion of patients with symptomatic HIV infection (AIDS, ARC, and POL) and acute or chronic diarrhea when no other microbial pathogen could be identified. In this study we showed that patients with AIDS or ARC may present with acute diarrhea or exacerbations of chronic diarrhea and that in patients with symptomatic HIV infection and diarrhea, >50% excreted gastrointestinal viruses. These high detection rates for rotavirus and adenovirus in patients with ARC or AIDS-OI are similar to those observed in marrow transplant recipients who also have a T cell immunodeficiency and often have gastrointestinal mucosal damage from graft-versus-host disease [4] .	./cache/cord-007188-tcq8lnwg.txt	./txt/cord-007188-tcq8lnwg.txt
