Abstract
Diarrhea due to enteric pathogens is an important complication of advanced HIV infection. Picobirnaviruses are agents recently linked with human enteritis. In total, 197 fecal samples collected from HIV-infected and noninfected patients with and without diarrhea were investigated for the presence of rotavirus and picobirnavirus by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Picobirnavirus was detected in 8.8% of 57 HIV-infected patients with diarrhea, but it was detected in neither those without diarrhea (p pKeywords
