CHARACTERISTICS OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH HIV INFECTION
Keywords:
HIV-infected patients, central nervous system, PCR, meningeal signs, CD4 cells.Abstract
Among the observed patients, the predominant route of HIV transmission was through injection drug use. The most common pathogens affecting the central nervous system (CNS) in HIV-positive patients were the Epstein-Barr virus, Toxoplasma, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease primarily developed in young individuals, regardless of gender. CNS infections in HIV-positive patients progress gradually and manifest clinically against a background of severe immunodeficiency.
