  1. Group A: HIV positive, CD4 cell count < 200/μl, gastrointestinal symptoms present. Group B: HIV positive, CD4 < 200/μl, without gastrointestinal symptoms. Group C: healthy volunteers.
  2. Fisher's exact test:
  3. Pathological findings proximal of the ligament of Treitz:
  4. Group A vs Group B; p = 0.232
  5. Group A vs Croup C; p = 1.000
  6. Group B vs Group C; p = 0.327
  7. Pathological findings distal of the ligament of Treitz:
  8. Group A vs Group B; p = 0.001
  9. Group A vs Croup C; p = 0.028
  10. Group B vs Group C; p = 0.425
