Neuropsychological screening of HIV encephalopathy
Original language description
HIV virus can invade central nervous system (CNS) early in the disease evolution cause a chronic subclinical encephalitis [1] . Clinical manifestation follows a asymptomatic period of variable length, when the immune system begins to be compromised and opportunistic infections, tumours or other complications tend to develop. Most important CNS affection, caused directly by the HIV virus, is the HIV encephalitis (HIVE). Prevalence of this complication was high in the begining of HIV pandemic, but declined substantially after introduction of zidovudin and highly active antiretroviral treatment into clinical practice [2], [3]. In more progressed immune deficit states when CD4 lymphocytes count drops to 200 or less per ml, prevalence of HIVE rises again to10% - 20% of cases, with even more detected at autopsy [4, 5]. Incidence of clinically manifest HIVE is estimated at 7% in AIDS stage of HIV infection [6].
