Gastrointestinal infections in the immunocompromised host are caused by the common bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic agents that also cause infections in the immunocompetent host. Of special consideration is that immunocompromised patients may be at increased risk for infection or disease severity and by pathogens not seen in the competent host. This chapter reviews the various agents, risk factors, and diagnostic approaches to detect gastrointestinal infections in this patient population.
免疫功能低下宿主的胃肠道感染是由常见的细菌、病毒、真菌和寄生虫病原体引起的，这些病原体也会引起免疫功能正常宿主的感染。需要特别注意的是，免疫功能低下的患者可能面临更高的感染风险或疾病严重程度，并且可能感染在免疫功能正常宿主中未见到的病原体。本章回顾了各种病原体、风险因素以及诊断方法，以检测这类患者人群中的胃肠道感染。
