 The nervous system is frequently and profoundly affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Nervous system involvement is responsible for clinical manifestations in 50-60% of AIDS patients and found at autopsy in 80~90% of patients with AIDS. Certain neurologic complications such as aseptic meningitis and peripheral neuropathy may occur in earlier stages of HIV infection. HIV can directly infect the brain, producing dementia (HIV encephalopathy, AIDS dementia complex or multinucleated giant cell encephalitis), aseptic meningitis and vacuolar myelopathy. It may also cause distal symmetric peripheral neuropahy, multiple mononeuropathy or inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy and myopathy. HIV encephalopathy is characterized by pallor of the white matter, astrogliosis and cell infiltration with macrophages, lymphocytes and multinucleated giant cells which are probably produced by the fusion of mononuclear macrophages. The white matter is diffusely affected with scattered areas which are more profoundly damaged. Those areas and cell infiltration are frequently associated with blood vessels. In addition to the white matter, the central grey matter and less prominently the cerebral cortex are involved in HIV infection. HIV antigens, genomes, and virions are found usually in macrophage, microglia and multinucleated giant cells. HIV infection of astrocytes is occasionally reported but neuronal or oligodendroglial infection with HIV is still controversial. Although the pathomechanism of HIV encephalopathy remain unclear, HIV envelope protein: gp 120 and macrophages/microglia infected with HIV may play important roles.
