Neurological opportunistic infections in HIV

Ayush Dubey, Shubham Dubey

Abstract :

HIV is one of the most dreaded viruses witnessed by mankind in the last century. It is known to compromise the immune system which leads to a variety of clinical manifestations. Opportunistic infections arise in such an immune deficient state and neurological infections are an important component of all such disorders. Prompt initiation of anti retroviral therapy along with early specific treatment of the individual infections leads to a significant symptom control. In this study, we present our data on neurological opportunistic infections in HIV patients at a tertiary care hospital in India.
