    Author: Orefice G, Carrieri PB, Farace A, Gentile S, Troisi E, Buscaino GA.
    Journal: Acta Neurol (Napoli); 1989; 11(2-3):117-26. PubMed ID: 2675537.
    Abstract:
    Central nervous system diseases occur frequently in patients with AIDS. From 20 to 40% of all these patients develop neurological symptoms and in about 10% of AIDS patients the onset of the disease is characterized by neurological symptoms. These may be related to primary HIV infection or to any of a large number of opportunistic viral and non-viral infections. Moreover, the observation of multiple central nervous system infections is frequent, making the diagnosis difficult. AIDS-related opportunistic infections of the central nervous system are discussed, presenting both a review of the literature and several case reports.
