| Abstract: | Diarrhea is a very common complaint among immunocompromised patients, and the most common causes of this and other gastrointestinal complaints in this population differ from those commonly seen in immunocompetent patients. Underlying immunodeficiencies may be associated with particular patterns of gastrointestinal tract injury, and particular immunodeficiencies may lead to increased susceptibility to infection by specific organisms depending upon the etiology of the immune compromise. It is important to become familiar with the causes of gastrointestinal disease in the immunocompromised patient population because prompt and proper treatment is of the essence in this patient group. This review focuses on common causes of enterocolitis in the immunocompromised with attention to primary immunodeficiency disorders, the post-transplant setting, chemotherapy-related injury, and a select group of common or emerging infections. |
