Imaging of neuro-AIDS.
The pathogenesis of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of the central nervous system and the imaging presentation of patients with neurological complications from HIV/AIDS are discussed. Imaging findings are often nonspecific; however, correlations with patient's clinical signs and CD4 count allow a working diagnosis to be made.
