Abstract
This chapter is a review of selected causes of intestinal malabsorption. The pathogenesis and clinical features of malabsorption due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), celiac sprue, and small bowel bacterial overgrowth are discussed, with emphasis on recent developments. The etiology and diagnostic challenges of malabsorptive disorders in the elderly are also reviewed.
