    Notes: Abstract Twohundred and twenty-five adult patients with AIDS were seen at the Academic Medical Center over a 5-year period. Of these patients, 70% were found to have gastrointestinal disease: 32% oropharyngeal candidiasis: 12,5% cytomegalovirus infection, mostly in rectum or colon (5.3%), and 8% mycobacterium. Kaposi's sarcoma, which has been reported in 27% of the cases in literature, was present in 29%, of our patients. We had a rather ow incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract (1,3%). With double-contrast barium studies of the GI tract early superficial mucosal changes can be detected. Endoscopy, especially in Kaposi's sarcoma, may be complementary.

    Notes: Abstract The genes for the interferon-γ receptor1 and the natural resistance-associated macrophage protein1 (NRAMP1) control the immune response to intracellular microbial pathogens. Such pathogens, in particular Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. We studied markers in the genes for NRAMP1 and two mutations in the interferon-γ receptor in relation to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the following groups: 270 healthy individuals, 74 patients with Crohn's disease, 72 patients with ulcerative colitis, and 40 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis. We studied the allele frequencies of two restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the gene for NRAMP1 and the prevalence of two mutations in the interferon-γ receptor1 gene. The markers in the NRAMP1 gene were not associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Also, the mutations in the interferon-γ receptor1 were not found in the 186 IBD patients. Genetic markers in NRAMP1 are thus not associated with IBD. Therefore this gene is not likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of IBD. The mutation in the interferon-γ receptor was not found in our IBD patients group.
