title: Uveomeningoencephalitis in a human immunodeficiency virus type 2-seropositive patient.
abstract: A 35-year-old woman developed longstanding uveitis and later a uveomeningoencephalitis of unknown origin and died of toxoplasmal brain abscesses. The presence of immunological impairment, human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) seropositivity, and multinucleated cells in the brain led us to suspect neurotropic properties for HIV-2 similar to those of HIV-1.
