HIV enteropathy: crypt stem and transit cell hyperproliferation induces villous atrophy in HIV/Microsporidia-infected jejunal mucosa.

Objectives: The study aim was to analyse the kinetics of stem and transit cells in the crypts of jejunal mucosa infected with HIV and Microsporidia. Design: The size of villi, depth of crypts and proliferative activity of transit and stem cells in jejunal mucosa were measured using morphometric t...
