The successful treatment of mania due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome using ziprasidone: a case series.
Secondary causes of mania need to be considered when atypical features of mania are manifested. These would include those patients with a later onset and without a prior psychiatric history. This case series investigates the use of ziprasidone for the treatment of mania due to HIV, a complication that could develop in those patients with advanced stages of AIDS.
