Central nervous system (CNS) manifestations are common in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The most common CNS syndrome is a dementing illness referred to as the AIDS dementia complex, in which motor and cognitive changes may also be seen. Neurodiagnostic studies are fairly characteristic, though highly nonspecific. Dementia may precede overt manifestations of AIDS, and either an insidious or a fulminant course may be seen. Appropriate management of the patient with AIDS includes differentiating dementia from psychologic responses to the disease.
中枢神经系统（CNS）表现在获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）患者中很常见。最常见的中枢神经系统综合征是一种被称为艾滋病痴呆综合征的痴呆性疾病，其中也可能出现运动和认知方面的变化。神经诊断研究具有相当的特征性，尽管特异性不强。痴呆可能先于艾滋病的明显表现出现，病程可能隐匿或急骤。对艾滋病患者的恰当管理包括区分痴呆与对该疾病的心理反应。
