HIV and the brain

Today I facilitated morning report where the presented a case of encephalopathy in a patient with advanced HIV. There was a good possibility this was related to HIV encephalopathy assuming cryptococcal meningitis (prev blog) was ruled out. I have previously blogged about acute confusional states here including links to discussions on paraneoplastic syndromes.

This is a recent review of HIV and its neurologic sequelae. Another review is available here. A more focussed review on HIV encephalopathy including treatment options is available here.

This is a helpful article on the neuroradiology of HIV related CNS processes.
