Abstract:
Multifocal leukoencephalopathy (MLP) is
often observed in HIV-infected individuals. The aim of our work was
to identify the features of brain injury in patients with polyomavirus
infection with the background of HIV infection of the IV clinical stage.
Methods: For the morphological study, sectional material (brain) of
HIV-positive patients with PML and lifetime detection of JCV and
BKV in the cerebrospinal fluid was used with instrumental signs of
PML. T. gondii was detected in 28.6% of cases, EBV in 42.9% of
cases, JCV was detected in 14.3% of cases, and BKV was detected in
14.3% of cases.
