Neurovisualization in diagnostics of Toxoplasma encephalitis in HIV-infected patients
We report results of a prospective study of HIV-infected patients with toxoplasmic encephalitis. The mean follow-up period was four years. MRI of the brain had an advantage over CT in diagnostics of TE in twenty four patients. MRI revealed a prevalence of multifocal lesions, only in 12% of cases. The foci were located more often in frontal areas (36%). Two patients (8%) had multifocal lesions in the brain without neurological deficit. Large necrotic foci didn’t resolve for years despite a good clinical eff ect. Key words: Toxoplasmic Encephalitis, HIV-infection, Neurovisualization, MRI of the Brain.
