The Neurology of HIV Infection covers all aspects of nervous system involvement and pathology in HIV-infected individuals. Specialists in this field cover epidemiology, global aspects, pathology and pathogenesis of nervous system disease in HIV-infection. All complications, including the pathology caused by HIV itself and all opportunistic infections of the nervous system are reviewed in detail. Both central nervous and peripheral nervous system complications, including neuropathies and myopathies, are discussed. Key chapters on global developments, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders, IRIS, stroke and

A multi-author approach is taken in this book to give a thorough view of the neuropathology of AIDS. The authors have exhaustively reviewed all the available data in order to draw a clear and complete picture of the present status. The broad approach makes the reader aware that the neurological disease is part of a process involving the patients in their entirety.

HIV affects the nervous system in many ways - appearing to penetrate the system early and rarely produce clinical manifestations. It is most often at the stage of profound immuno-depression that neurological complications develop. This volume provides a guide to the management of these problems.

In this exciting symposium, the editor brings to print important new information on AIDS and how HIV affects the brain. Each chapter focuses on one or more of the cell types that reside in or traffic through the central nervous system (CNS). Each of these cells is important to considerations of the pathogenesis of the CNS. Neurologists, AIDS physicians, and other professionals caring for AIDS patients will find that this “cell-based” view provides a unique perspective and that it will

Compact and clearly arranged, this book details present knowledge of AIDS research in the fields of neurology and ophthalmology. The experience gained by clinical experts through working with a large number of patients is presented together with the detailed morphologic results of neuropathology. To describe the various disease complexes, morphology takes into account all methods of result representation, including immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy. The four disciplines mentioned in the subtitle describe all aspects of the CNS with regard to AIDS,

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) commonly enters the central nervous system, disturbs brain function, and ultimately results in serious brain damage. The most dangerous manifestation of this infection of the brain is HIV-associated dementia, which includes extreme memory loss, slowness in thinking, disorientation, and social incapacity. Most persons who are HIV-infected do not develop severe dementia; however, perhaps 50% of those with AIDS and a smaller proportion of HIV-infected carriers suffer from more subtle brain disorders that can be revealed by
