Dementia and the Neurovirulence of HIV-1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 November 2014
Abstract
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1 ) leads rapidly to infection of the brain and subsequent neuropsychological impairment, including subclinical impairment, minor cognitive-motor disorder, and HIV-1–associated dementia (HAD). This article reviews HAD and the factors involved in its pathogenesis; the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy; the prevalence of HIV-1 and subtypes; and the role of chemokines and cytokines as the capstones associated with neuropathology due to inflammation.
