Abdominal imaging in the immunocompromised patient.
Radiol Clin North Am. 1992; (3): 579-96
Abdominal and gastrointestinal disease may result in clinically important complications in immunocompromised patients. The major types of disease are opportunistic infections and immunodeficiency-associated neoplasms. A multimodality approach is often essential in the diagnosis and staging of these lesions. A combination of bacteriologic culture, endoscopy, barium studies, and cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen with computed tomography and sonography is required to assess the extent of the disease accurately.
