Abstract :

HIV infection affects millions of people around the world and many patients progress to AIDS with profound immunosuppression. HIV can affect central nervous system by direct infection as well as through opportunistic infections. Neurological manifestations are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality amongst HIV positive patients. These neurological manifestations have a definite correlation with CD4 lymphocyte cell count. Certain neurological manifestations occur only with CD4 cell count less than 200. Thus CD4 cell count can help guide the monitoring and treatment of HIV positive patients with neurological manifestations.
