Abstract:
The infectious diarrhea in AIDS is principaly due to Cryptosporidium. The study of the inflammatory and humoral immunity proteins reveal a high exudative enteropathy associated with an IgA, IgG and IgM intestinal immune response. However, this barrier of defence is not sufficient to eradicate the infectious agent.
