Abnormalities of serum amylase and lipase in HIV-positive patients.
We sought to study asymptomatic pancreatic enzyme abnormalities in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. ⋯ Asymptomatic mild to moderate elevations of amylase or lipase are common in HIV-positive patients, and are usually associated with positive serology for chronic hepatitis B or C, and medications, especially antiretrovirals and intravenous cotrimoxazole.
