Cerebral granulomatous angiitis associated with isolation of human T-lymphotropic virus type III from the central nervous system.
A 42-year-old homosexual man without evidence of immune deficiency developed cerebral granulomatous angiitis in association with the isolation of human T-lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) from brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid. This syndrome may be an additional neurological sequela of HTLV-III infection.
