BACKGROUND Immunosuppression in Human Immunodeficiency Virus can predispose to opportunistic infections of the central nervous system and can be life threatening without early recognition and management. This can be delayed in undiagnosed Human Immunodeficiency Virus. The present article is the only case report in the literature to describe a first presentation of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn...

In contrast, development of systemic lupus erythematosus with hepatitis C and with interferon therapy is well described in a num...
