Neurological complications of progressive HIV-1 infection remain a
common cause of morbidity even during widespread use of
antiretroviral therapy (ART). Long-term resistance to ART, drug
compliance, untoward drug side effects, a myriad of opportunistic
infection, depression and other psychiatric disease manifestations,
concomitant drug abuse, neuropathies, and an inability to clear
viral reservoirs, explain, in large measure, disease progression
and immune deterioration. These are associated with a number of
psychiatric, muscle, nerve, infectious, as well as cognitive,
behavioral, and motor disturbances seen in infected people. Fully
updated from the previous two editions and replete with color
images, The Neurology of AIDS, Third Edition covers each of these
neurological complications and more with a focus on molecular and
viral disease processes, cellular factors influencing viral
replication therapeutic challenges, and the changing
epidemiological patterns of disease. From basic science to clinical
care, to epidemiological disease patters, The Neurology of AIDS is
the only complete textbook available on AIDS neurology and the only
one comprehensive enough to stand alone in each segment of study in
brain disorders affected by the human immunodeficiency virus. It is
an indispensable resource for students, resident physicians,
practicing physicians, and for researchers and experts in the
HIV/AIDS field.
