Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum concentration of beta-2-microglobulin (beta-2-m) were evaluated in 30 patients in various stages of HIV-1 infection. CSF beta-2-m and CSF/serum ratio were significantly higher in patients with neurological complications respect to asymptomatic subjects. These findings indicate that CSF beta-2-m and CSF/serum ratio may be a useful marker of neurological involvement in HIV-1 infection.Entities:
