The acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a syndrome requiring unique knowledge of its versatile manifestations for accurate diagnosis and skillfull management of its numerous complications for successful treatment. The human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III), a replication-complete virus, is now reported as the etiologic agent. The neurologic complications of AIDS cover the spectrum of neurologic diseases and usually have multiple causative factors, all of which should be appropriately managed. These complications can be successfully treated, although constant monitoring is required because recurrence is frequent. The neurologic complications are the second most frequent cause of death in AIDS patients.Tests that are usually reliable in diagnosing neurologic diseases may not be reliable in patients with AIDS. The management of AIDS is a multidisciplinary effort, and the neurologist should fulfill a role in the management team.
获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）是一种需要对其多样表现有独特认识才能准确诊断，并对其众多并发症进行巧妙处理以成功治疗的综合征。人类嗜T细胞病毒III型（HTLV-III），一种复制完整的病毒，现已被报告为病原体。艾滋病的神经系统并发症涵盖了一系列神经系统疾病，通常有多种致病因素，所有这些因素都应得到妥善处理。这些并发症可以成功治疗，不过由于复发频繁，需要持续监测。神经系统并发症是艾滋病患者第二常见的死亡原因。通常用于诊断神经系统疾病的检测在艾滋病患者中可能并不可靠。艾滋病的管理需要多学科协作，神经科医生应在管理团队中发挥作用。
