Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy occurring with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Southern Medical Journal
J D EnglandP J Biggs

Abstract

A 33-year-old homosexual man with symptoms and signs of a focal brain process was subsequently found to have an acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with biopsy-proven progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. This report reemphasizes the association of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy with AIDS and probably is best viewed as another example of an opportunistic CNS infection complicating deficient cell-mediated immunity.
