“I’ve been rashed and confused”: Part 1

Le résumé fourni par la source

Patients with advanced immunosuppression from AIDS can have a wide variety of causes of diminished alertness (delirium). Diagnostic considerations include results from neuroimaging to rule-out space occupying lesions and permit CSF examination. Presence or absence of other imaging findings especially on MRI of white matter changes, enhancement, or ventriculitis. Serologic testing can be helpful especially in excluding neurosyphilis and cryptococcal disease. Presence of findings outside the CNS (e.g. the lungs, bone marrow, or eyes) can also provide important clues.
