Patients living with human immunodeficiency virus represent a growing population, and an increased number of central nervous system presentations can be expected over the next decade. Emerging data suggests that both HIV-seropositive patients and cocaine-abusing patients may be at special risk of
In HIV-positive individuals with first seizure, we describe neuroimaging findings, detail clinical and demographic risk factors for imaging abnormalities, and evaluate the relationship between imaging abnormalities and seizure recurrence to determine if imaging abnormalities predict recurrent
We report a patient with rapidly accelerating HIV dementia accompanied by seizures and an unusual movement disorder despite highly potent antiretroviral therapy. This clinical constellation was associated with the non-parenteral use of methamphetamine and cocaine. Fractional enhancement time on post
We present 2 patients with HIV/AIDS and suspected HIV-associated nephropathy who presented with end-stage renal disease and new-onset seizures. These cases highlight the relationship between metabolic disorders and new-onset seizures in HIV-infected persons. Causes of new-onset seizures in this
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical features of new-onset seizures in HIV-1-infected persons with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and to discuss potential mechanisms.
METHODS
Forty-nine consecutive HIV-1-infected patients with PML attended our institutions between January 1988 and
OBJECTIVE
To describe acute EEG findings in HIV-infected adults with new-onset seizure, assess baseline clinical characteristics associated with EEG abnormalities, and evaluate the relationship between EEG abnormalities and recurrent seizure.
METHODS
Eighty-one HIV-infected adults with new-onset
OBJECTIVE
To study the significance of new onset seizure in patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
METHODS
Patients infected with HIV with the new onset seizure were enrolled in the study. Seizure type was classified. Adequate work up was done to search for a cause of their
OBJECTIVE
We attempt to define the significance and most common causes of new-onset seizures in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. In addition, we review the seizure type, neurologic examination, and other clinical features to better address diagnostic and management issues
New-onset seizures are frequent manifestations of central nervous system disorders in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Seizures are more common in advanced stages of the disease, although they may occur early in the course of illness. In the majority of patients, seizures
A 41-year-old male with a history of well controlled HIV presented with confusion and was found to have COVID-19. Lumbar puncture was negative. He had worsening encephalopathy with tonic-clonic seizure requiring intubation. He was treated with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin with improvement in
A 31-year-old Malaysian man was presented with an episode of seizures by the roadside, after having been recently diagnosed as HIV positive accompanied with miliary tuberculosis. On physical examination, he was oriented to person, but not to time or place. There was no neck stiffness or
A retrospective study of the neurological problems arising in HIV-I seropositive patients in a single defined geographical area was undertaken. Ninety patients were referred for a neurological opinion from a total known HIV-I seropositive population of 436. Minor problems were frequently encountered
This article discusses the wide range of neurologic complications of HIV infection according to degree of advancement of systemic HIV disease. The focus is principally on those disorders that appear at least in part to be directly related to HIV: AIDS dementia complex, peripheral neuropathy, and
The first case of Glutaric aciduria Type 1(GA1) in an African child was reported in 2001. GA1 has a prevalence of 1:5000 in black South Africans. Although early diagnosis is essential for a favourable outcome, newborn screening is not routine in South Africa where an estimated 320,000 children have
BACKGROUND
Neurological dysfunction in AIDS is common, occurring in as many as eighty percent of children. Thus, it is important to recognize the central nervous system imaging appearance of HIV, in particular those of HIV encephalopathy, as this is an AIDS defining illness and with distinct
