Synopsis

A review of the full scope of research on the neurological and neurobehavioral implications of neuro-AIDS including the fields of microbiology and immunology.

  • Considers the broad scope of effects of HIV/AIDS on the brain and peripheral nervous system (neuro-AIDS), both pre- and post-HAART era.
  • Links basic pathology and pathophysiology research with clinical findings, diagnostic, and assessment techniques in both the CNS and the periphery.
  • Examines the wide range of HIV-associated comorbidities including fungal, viral, syphilitic, and Toxoplasma infections.
  • Covers neurological and neurobehavioral syndromes (dementia, delirium, depressive disorders, fatigue, and peripheral nervous and muscular dysfunction), including diagnosis and treatment.
  • Presents specific information on neuro-AIDS in special populations including women, children, minorities, and older individuals.
