Agentes etiológicos de neuroinfección en pacientes con VIH-SIDA
Summary: HIV induces a progressive and chronic process, with a huge spectrum of manifestations and complications, ranging from primary infection to opportunistic infections, tumors and wasting. Those patients who reach an advanced stage of infection with HIV (AIDS) and with a low count of CD4 + T cells, are at greater risk than their immune system fails to develop opportunistic infections of the central nervous system. The infections of this, understood neuroinfections, basically consist of an irritative and inflammatory process that mainly affects the brain and / or spinal cord. The diagnosis of NI in the patient with HIV / AIDS still represents a great challenge that doctors face daily in their professional practice, therefore, knowing their etiological agents is a key aspect in this work. The interest in developing this study has arisen from the above, and the objective has been to compile some recent scientific and academic sources with which to support and refer the etiological agents of neuroinfection (NI) in patients diagnosed with HIV-AIDS. The results, although scarce, were enough to achieve the proposed objective. Based on the sources reviewed in this study, it was concluded that among the neuroinfection agents that have been reported in patients diagnosed with HIV-AIDS are: Cryptococcus neoformans, Treponema pallidum, John Cunningham virus (JC virus), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Virus Epstein-Barr, Herpes zoster virus, Pneumocystis jirovecii, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), Candida spp, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia duodenalis, Balantidium coli, Strongyloides stercoralis, Blastocystis hominis, among others.
