Int J STD AIDS. 2018 Jun;29(7):726-728. doi: 10.1177/0956462417749421. Epub 2017 Dec 17.

Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escape phenomenon is widely studied and documented in HIV-1. However, hardly anything is known about progressive neurologic disease in otherwise well-controlled HIV-2 infection. We present a case of neurosymptomatic CSF escape in HIV-2 infection from India.

Keywords: HIV-2; India; neurosymptomatic cerebrospinal fluid escape.
