title: [Psychiatric diseases in patients with HIV infection].
abstract: In a review of the literature it is shown that most HIV-infected patients experience psychoreactive disorders early in the course of the disease and psycho-organic disorders at its more advanced stages. The latter are due either to the HIV itself or to opportunistic infections and malignancies. Differential diagnoses comprise adverse-effects of chemotherapeutics or illicit drugs and, in addition, independent psychiatric disorders certains of which may be over-represented in high-risk groups. Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are reviewed.
