A new complication of AIDS: thoracic myelitis caused by herpes simplex virus.
Progressive thoracic myelopathy occurred in a patient with AIDS. Concurrent opportunistic infections included disseminated systemic cytomegalovirus, aspergillosis, and cutaneous herpes simplex virus (HSV). At autopsy, immune stains indicated that the myelopathy was caused by HSV type 2 infection of the spinal cord.
