Of the 121 (29%) patients who had lost weight, the majority had a clear contributing cause; opportunistic infections ( n = 57), psychosocial factors ( n = 20), drug related problems ( n = 9). Unexplained weight loss ( n = 35) was more likely to have occurred in those patients with a better preserved immune system and most of these had symptoms suggestive of an unconfirmed infection or had local oral lesions associated with a loss of appetite. Unexplained weight loss associated with HIV infection is uncommon.
