RESUMO
A standardized examination, including EEG, was performed in 54 cases of HIV infection. The EEGs were analyzed and compared to 30 EEGs of HIV-negative test persons. The visual analyses with respect to basic activity, dysrhythmias, general slowing, foci and alteration of vigilance were performed without any information on HIV infection. Significant differences in the median frequency were found between both groups, HIV-positive patients presenting with a slower basic activity. Moderate or severe dysrhythmias (2 patients) or foci (2 patients) were found exclusively in HIV-positive patients. The findings described above could not be replicated when only HIV-patients without secondary CNS infections were compared to HIV-negative test persons.
