Although acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is not directly fatal, individuals with the disease are susceptible to a host of life-threatening opportunistic infections and complications. This article focuses on the central nervous system (CNS) complications of HIV/AIDS and computed tomography's role in diagnosing these conditions. After completing the article, readers will know the signs and symptoms, causes or proposed causes and computed tomographic (CT) appearance of 4 important CNS complications of HIV/AIDS: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Toxoplasmosis. CNS lymphoma. AIDS dementia complex (ADC).
尽管获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）并非直接致命，但患有该疾病的个体易患一系列危及生命的机会性感染和并发症。本文重点关注人类免疫缺陷病毒/艾滋病（HIV/AIDS）的中枢神经系统（CNS）并发症以及计算机断层扫描在诊断这些病症中的作用。读完本文后，读者将了解HIV/AIDS的4种重要CNS并发症的体征和症状、病因或推测病因以及计算机断层扫描（CT）表现：进行性多灶性白质脑病（PML）、弓形虫病、中枢神经系统淋巴瘤、艾滋病痴呆综合征（ADC）。
