=====Unexplained chronic diarrhea=====

In HIV infection, there are many possible causes of [[diarrhea]], including common bacterial (''[[Salmonella]]'', ''[[Shigella]]'', ''[[Listeria]]'', ''[[Campylobacter]]'', or ''[[Escherichia coli]]'') and parasitic infections, and uncommon opportunistic infections such as [[cryptosporidiosis]], [[microsporidiosis]], ''[[Mycobacterium avium]]'' complex (MAC) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis. Diarrhea may follow a course of antibiotics (common for ''[[Clostridium]] difficile''). It may also be a side effect of several drugs used to treat HIV, or it may simply accompany HIV infection, particularly during primary HIV infection. In the later stages of HIV infection, diarrhea is thought to be a reflection of changes in the way the intestinal tract absorbs nutrients, and may be an important component of HIV-related wasting (Guerrant et al., 1990).

=====Toxoplasmosi=====

La [[toxoplasmosi]] è una patologia causata da un organismo unicellulare conosciuto col nome di ''[[Toxoplasma gondii]]''. Esso generalmente infetta il [[sistema nervoso centrale]] dando luogo ad un'[[encefalite]]. Può, comunque, infettare e causare malattie a livello degli [[occhio|occhi]] e dei [[polmone|polmoni]].
