Lint: hiv-oesophagitis-1

warning

"Oesophagitis in HIV patients with low CD4 counts is usually caused by an infectious aetiology, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes virus or Candida. However, there are cases where the aetiology is not identified in cultures, electron microscopy, or immunohistochemical tests. In these cases, HIV itself has been proposed to be aetiology."
