ABSTRACT

La leucoencefalopatía multifocal progresiva es un cuadro de desmielinización parcheada del sistema nervioso central que se presenta con diversos cuadros de afectación neurológica y que se ha descrito como complicación en pacientes VIH en fases muy avanzadas. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 52 años, diagnosticado de tuberculosis pulmonar y VIH, en tratamiento tuberculostático y antirretroviral, que acude a urgencias por presentar inestabilidad y alteraciones inespecíficas de la marcha y el habla tras haber sido dado de alta recientemente por el servicio de enfermedades infecciosas. La clínica y las pruebas de imagen son sugestivas de leucoencefalopatía multifocal progresiva por VIH


Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a central nervous system demyelinating disease that causes diverse patterns of neurological involvement, and which has been described as a complication in HIV patients at very advanced stages. We present the case of a 52-year-old man, diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and HIV, following tuberculostatic and antiretroviral treatment, who presents to the emergency department with instability and non-specific gait and speech disturbances after being recently discharged from the infectious disease service. The clinical and imaging tests suggest HIV-induced progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
