Infantile HIV encephalopathy associated with cerebral and cerebellar telangiectases.
We describe a paediatric case of HIV encephalopathy associated with cerebral and cerebellar telangiectases. Although immunohistochemistry failed to show HIV in the walls of dilated blood vessels, or in their vicinity, brain capillary telangiectases might be an additional complication indirectly related to paediatric HIV infection.
