Scope note: Afección neurológica asociada al SÍNDROME DE INMUNODEFICIENCIA ADQUIRIDA y caracterizada por trastornos de la memoria y de la concentración, lentitud de los movimientos de la mano, ATAXIA, incontinencia, apatía, y dificultades en la marcha asociados a la infección del sistema nervioso central por el VIH-1. El examen anatomopatológico del cerebro revela rarefacción de la sustancia blanca, infiltrados perivasculares de linfocitos, macrófagos espumosos y células gigantes multinucleadas.

Scope note: A neurologic condition associated with the ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME and characterized by impaired concentration and memory, slowness of hand movements, ATAXIA, incontinence, apathy, and gait difficulties associated with HIV-1 viral infection of the central nervous system. Pathologic examination of the brain reveals white matter rarefaction, perivascular infiltrates of lymphocytes, foamy macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells.
