High-risk enteric pathogens associated with HIV infection and HIV exposure in Kenyan children with acute diarrhoea

Abstract

EPEC and Cryptosporidium infections were more common in HIV-infected and HIV-exposed children, respectively. This could explain the increased mortality attributed to these pathogens in other studies. Interventions targeting EPEC and Cryptosporidium may reduce morbidity and mortality in high HIV-prevalence settings.
