Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Encephalitis in HIV Patients
It is hypothesized that impaired CD4 cell functioning is attributable to viral replication. Most cases of CMV encephalitis occur when CD4 counts fall below 50, however patients may be predisposed to CMV infection prior to depletion of CD4 [1]. Previous opportunistic infections (OIs), a high level of CMV viremia, and high plasma HIV RNA levels (>100,000 copies/mL) are other reported risk factors...
متن کاملCombined HIV-CMV encephalitis presenting with brainstem signs.
Two cases of combined HIV-CMV encephalitis are described. One presented with a sixth nerve palsy and a tetraparesis, the other with an internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Pathologically brain stem involvement was predominantly due to CMV.
متن کاملComparison of magnetic resonance imaging with neuropathological findings in the diagnosis of HIV and CMV associated CNS disease in AIDS.
OBJECTIVES To compare the results of clinical assessment and MRI with neuropathological findings in the diagnosis of HIV and cytomegalovirus (CMV) associated CNS disease. METHODS A retrospective study of 35 patients infected with HIV who were examined at necropsy between four and 70 (median 20) days after neurological assessment and MRI. RESULTS Of the 35 patients, 19 had diffuse white matt...
متن کاملCMV-associated encephalitis and antineuronal autoantibodies - a case report
BACKGROUND Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an ubiquitous pathogen capable of modulating the host immune system. Immune dysfunction is common during CMV infection and includes autoimmune phenomena. Here we focus on a case of primary CMV infection associated with encephalopathy in a patient with a rudimentary spleen. We discuss diagnostic challenges and immunological aspects as well as the hypothe...
متن کاملFate of Diffusion Restricted Lesions in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
BACKGROUND Diffusion-restricted lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) are detected in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we aimed to determine the fate of DWI lesions in ICH patients and whether the presence of DWI lesions is associated with functional outcome in patients with ICH. METHODS This prospective study enrolled 153 patients with acute ICH. Baseline MR...
