SPECTRUM OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM MANIFESTATIONS IN HIV/AIDS PATIENT

HIV is one of the viruses that belong to the Retroviridae family of retroviruses. Neurological problems, metastatic cancers, and immunodeciency are associated with it. Since antiretroviral therapy (ART) was developed, the incidence of HIV-related central nervous system (CNS) illnesses has substantially decreased and the prognosis for those with HIV has improved tremendously. Even yet, a signicant portion of people die from HIVrelated CNS diseases. When it comes to early diagnosis and prompt treatment, advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have improved the prognosis for those living with HIV. Central nervous system (CNS) symptoms of HIV encompass a wide range of diseases. Progression-related primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL), HIV encephalopathy, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), CNS toxoplasmosis, and other opportunistic infections-related illnesses like CNS cryptococcosis, CNS tuberculosis, and immune reconstitution inammatory syndrome (IRIS) are among them.
