Antiretroviral therapy (ART) from a neurological point of view. German Neuro-AIDS study group (DNAA).
Human Immunodeficiency virus can affect the peripheral (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS). In the ART / HAART era especially the CNS is said to be a virus reservoir so that neurologists have to be more and more integrated in therapy planning. Therefore the present paper describes neurological indications for ART, ART side effects involving the PNS and CNS and pharmacological interactions of ART with current neurological drug regimen.
