NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS IN HIV INFECTION. CLINICAL CASE.

Abstract

Introduction. In modern society the human immunodeficiency virus has the status of a "global social problem".In
Kazakhstan due to the complex of targeted preventive measures, HIV-infection is kept at a concentrated stage, that is the
spread occurs mainly among vulnerable groups.In dynamics, the frequency of parenteral pathway infection decreases, the
proportion of sexual pathway increases, there is an increase in HIV-infections among people of the older age group, and
clinical manifestations become more diverse.
Aim. Analysis of the clinical case of a patient with HIV-infection with a predominant lesion of the nervous system.
Methods. Type of clinical research-descriptive. Case report.
Results. According to the frequency of damage to various organs and systems in HIV- infection, the nervous system is in
second place after the immune system.At the same time, the spectrum of neurological disorders is very wide, which often
creates diagnostic difficulties.The defeat of the nervous system, especially the brain, is one of the most important problems
associated with HIV-infection.Neurological lesions in HIV-infection are observed in 50-80% of patients and are clinically
expressed in more than 10% of them.The defeat of the nervous system is primary in 7.2% of patients.
The given clinical case of a 49 year old patient in the epidemiological aspect is interesting from these positions.In clinical
perspective, the sharply developed marked neurological symptomatology that prevails in the clinic of this patient is also of
practical interest for specialists.A feature of this case is also the rapid progression of the disease with the addition of lesions of other organs and systems.All this requires increased alertness and appropriate knowledge on the part of doctors for the
timely diagnosis of this infection.
Conclusions.1.Doctors of all specialties need to know about the epidemiological features and clinical manifestations of
HIV-infection.
2. Neurological manifestations in HIV-infection can be very diverse and be leading in the symptomatology of this disease.
