ABSTRACT
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a neurotropic virus that crosses the blood-brain barrier at early stages of the disease. Thus, the central nervous system (CNS) constitutes the major target of HIV, and according to estimations approximately two-thirds of patients will develop CNS involvement during the course of their disease. CNS diseases spectrum is wide and can be categorized into primary effects of HIV, opportunistic infections, neoplasms and vascular disease. A prompt diagnosis and treatment of such disorders is critical. Imaging studies play a crucial role in the diagnostic process. Therefore, characteristics of neuro-images in patients with HIV and their neurological manifestations have been reviewed.
RESUMEN
El virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) es un virus neurotrópico que cruza la barrera hemato-encefálica en etapas precoces de la enfermedad. Es así como el sistema nervioso central (SNC) es blanco mayor del virus VIH, estimándose que aproximadamente dos tercios de los pacientes desarrollarán compromiso del SNC durante el curso de su enfermedad. El espectro de enfermedades del SNC es amplio y puede ser categorizado en compromiso directo del virus VIH, infecciones oportunistas, neoplasias y enfermedad vascular. Un pronto diagnóstico y tratamiento de tales desordenes es crítico. Los estudios de imágenes juegan un rol crucial en el diagnóstico. Hemos revisado las características de las neuroimágenes en los pacientes VIH y sus manifestaciones neurológicas.
