Abstract

The clinical manifestations of lesions of the nervous system found at different stages of HIV infection in most patients may be caused by compromised cell immunity, direct neurotoxic effects of HIV, and pathological immune responses. Despite of significant progress in therapy for HIV-associated neurological disorders since the highly active antiretroviral therapy had been introduced into clinical practice, the problem of drugs able to eradicate HIV and to influence autoimmune processes is still urgent. Therapeutic means rendering complex anti-infection and immunoregulatory effects include intravenous immunoglobulin administration (IIA), which can improve prognosis significantly in some cases of HIV-associated neurological disorders. The present paper briefly reviews literature about diagnostics and treatment of nervous system lesions in HIV patients. A case of HIV-associated myelopathy progression in a HAART-treated patient is considered in detail. Diagnostic algorithms and possible mechanisms of IIA effects in cases of HIV-associated neurological disorders are discussed.
