A 40-year-old male, with established AIDS developed cachexia and dementia. At autopsy opportunistic infections were found. An additional neuropathological finding was Wernicke's encephalopathy. Although malnutrition is common in AIDS patients, it seems that Wernicke's encephalopathy is rare in AIDS. Nevertheless, it is suggested that a therapeutic trial with parenteral thiamine may be useful in AIDS patients with amnestic syndrome and dementia.
一名40岁男性，患有确诊的艾滋病，出现了恶病质和痴呆。尸检时发现了机会性感染。另一个神经病理学发现是韦尼克脑病。虽然营养不良在艾滋病患者中很常见，但韦尼克脑病在艾滋病患者中似乎很少见。然而，有人建议对患有遗忘综合征和痴呆的艾滋病患者进行胃肠外硫胺素治疗试验可能会有帮助。
