Abstract:
:Neurologic syndromes in AIDS are of four types: infections, para-infections, neoplastic, and paraneoplastic. All levels of the neuraxis can be affected. Neurologic complications may be the initial symptom or the cause of death. Aggressive evaluation, including biopsy of cerebral lesions, is indicated because effective treatment can be given.
