Abstract
The case histories of 111 patients with HIV-associated brain diseases who died during the period in 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the nosologies of HIV-associated brain diseases, the author identified the following groups of patients without HIV-associated brain diseases: meningoencephalitis; tuberculous brain lesion; combined brain lesion; cerebral toxoplasmosis; HIV-associated encephalopathy; and cerebral lymphoma. Meningeal syndrome and general cerebral symptoms were found to be prevalent among all neurological syndromes. In particular, moderate meningeal syndrome prevailed among the patients with meningeal syndrome and stupor among those with depression of consciousness. Among motor and cognitive impairments, there was a preponderance of moderate and severe disorders. Convulsive syndrome was most rarely noted. The groups with meningoencephalitis, tuberculous brain lesion, or combined brain lesions showed the largest number of cases with meningeal syndrome and general cerebral symptoms. The cerebral toxoplasmosis group was observed to have the highest rates of pyramidal syndrome, speech disorders, cranial nerve damage, and pelvic organ dysfunctions.
