Abstract
A case of acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection manifested by a rapidly fulminating, necrotizing, demyelinating encephalopathy that led to brain death in 5 days is reported. Autopsy demonstrated predominant white matter lesions, acute neuronal damage, and scanty cellular response. Cultures of cerebrospinal fluid were positive for HIV, suggesting an acute infection.Entities:
