[Diarrhea and AIDS: more complex diagnostic techniques; better therapeutic results].

During 17 months, 73 HIV-positive patients with diarrhea lasting at least for 14 days, were studied prospectively. The patients had stool specimen examinations negative for enteric pathogens, or positive for one of them, but with no response to specific treatment. All patients were subcomitted to digestive endoscopy and biopsies were taken for microbiological and histological studies. The etiology of the diarrhea could be established in 48 patients (66%). In 45, the cause was an enteric infection. There was association of 2 pathogens in 11 patients, and of 3 in 1 patient. The agents found were: Cryptosporidium (24%), MAI (16%), Giardia lambila (12%), isospora belli (5%), Shigella (5%), Salmonella (5%); Entamoeba histolytica (3%), HSV (3%), tuberculosis (2%), adherent bacteria (2%) and spirochetes (2%). In 3 patients the etiology was not infection, their diagnoses were coeliac disease, lymphoma and idiophatic colonic ulcers, respectively. In 51% of the cases only the examination of endoscopic biopsy specimens could identify the cause of the diarrhea. These results justify the use of these methods to improve diagnosis and therapeutic attempts in these patients.

Serologic evaluation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected individuals from Argentina and the United States indicates a similar distribution of subgroup B isolates.

Utilizing peptides based on the V3 region of gp120, we undertook a serologic examination of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals from Argentina to determine if prevalent HIV-1 isolates could be identified in this population. Our findings suggest that a similar pool of HIV-1 subgroup B isolates exists in both Argentina and the United States.

[From the HIV body to the ARV body].

The current HIV subjectivity lies on two great enunciative categories: HIV body, raised from Aids epidemic former stage, catheterized by being the viral genius development place. This omnipotent structure appears untouched of medical interdiction. And the ARV body, identified to H.A.A.R.T regime drugs adherence, and to horizontal and vertical machinic flows as well. These categories obtained from Flix Guattari's thoughts, are placed like theoretical framework for predicting of adherence achievement.
