Abstract
Nervous system is commonly involved due to HIV infection. It is paramount to distinguish whether the neurologic deterioration is due to opportunistic infection or immune reconstitution or the effect of virus itself.MR imaging greatly helps in narrowing the differential diagnosis.Neurological manifestations of retropositive patients is not uncommon. We present case series of People living with HIV and AIDS (PLHA) with varied imaging manifestations. Detailed clinical examination was done, CD-4 cell counts were obtained and correlated with the imaging features.Of the cases studied,majority were opportunistic infections,predominantly granulomatous infections,liketuberculosis,followed by toxoplasmosis.One case of CNS cryptococcosis was identified.Other cases were Primary CNS lymphoma,HIV encephalopathy and Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
