title: [Acute neuropsychiatric manifestations in HIV infection: apropos of 5 clinical cases].
abstract: There is an increasing incidence of neuro psychological impairment in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome patients. It is now recognized by certain authors as a 50 per cent (Nollet D. 88). This leads to increasing number of studies. As the AIDS epidemic continue psychiatrists have to become more familiar with this type of manifestations. Five cases of acute onset of neuropsychiatric syndrome are described and compared to an overview of literature. The connection with direct HIV brain involvement is discussed.
