We report a case of fatal chagasic meningoencephalitis in an AIDS patient. Acute exacerbation of chronic Chagas' disease with involvement of the CNS is uncommon and occurs only in immunocompromised patients. This is the third such reported reactivation and it underscores the importance of considering Chagas' disease in HIV-positive patients from endemic regions.
我们报告了一例艾滋病患者发生致命性查加斯病性脑膜脑炎的病例。慢性查加斯病急性加重并累及中枢神经系统的情况并不常见,仅发生于免疫功能低下的患者。这是第三例此类报告的再激活病例,它凸显了在来自流行地区的HIV阳性患者中考虑查加斯病的重要性。
