Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) occurred in a heterosexual Haitian man with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The patient initially had focal neurologic signs and nonenhancing lesions on a computed tomographic scan. Although PML is rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. Brain biopsy is suggested in patients suspected of having PML who might benefit from antiviral therapy.
进行性多灶性白质脑病(PML)发生在一名患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)的海地异性恋男性身上。患者最初有局灶性神经体征,计算机断层扫描显示有非强化性病变。尽管PML很少见,但在与AIDS相关的机会性感染的鉴别诊断中应考虑到它。对于怀疑患有PML且可能从抗病毒治疗中获益的患者,建议进行脑活检。
