AIDS: neurological opportunist infections in central London

RJ Guiloff
Department of Neurology, Westminster Hospital, London.

Twenty six (41%) of 64 central London cases of AIDS with nervous system involvement during the course of the illness had neurological opportunist infection. Cytomegalovirus and Toxoplasma gondii were the commonest agents in 22 cases with central nervous system (CNS) infection. Eight cases had herpes zoster radiculopathy. Other infections included those caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and papova JC virus. Prognosis was generally poor, irrespective of whether the opportunist infection was treatable.
