Multiple sclerosis and HIV-1 infection: case report of a HIV controller.

摘要: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has been infrequently described in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Underreporting, missed diagnoses or a true negative between MS and HIV infection are all possible explanations for the paucity of published cases. Since involves inflammation demyelination central nervous system by autoreactive T cells, immunosuppression caused would be expected to confer reduced risk MS. This report describes case relapsing-remitting woman non-progressive HIV-1 5 years. The patient stable normal CD4+ cell counts low viral load absence combination antitretroviral treatment (cART). She experienced typical neurological symptoms including optic neuritis, trigeminal neuralgia, transverse myelitis. MRI spinal cord demonstrated multiple lesions on T2-weighted images. Immune mechanisms associated control that may have contributed development relapses this discussed.
