AIDS Dementia Complex

Margaret T. Johnson, MD

HIV/CNS infections: it appears that infections of the nervous system - we see this particularly in the spinal fluid but probably the same thing is true in the brain - that it’s an intrinsic part of the ecology of HIV. One of the things that is puzzling about that is that early infection for a protracted period of time, despite this infection or exposure to the nervous system, it is entirely asymptomatic, even though we might find abnormalities in the spinal fluid. Only under certain conditions late in infection does it leads to AIDS dementia complex. And it still remains puzzling as to how this virus can be present but innocent and then later lead to a profound and difficult disorder.
