Manifestações neurológicas em crianças e adolecentes infectados e expostos ao HIV-1

Abstract: RESUMO -O envolvimento do sistema nervoso central SNC na infecção pelo HIV-1 em crianças pode estar evidente desde o início ou demorar muitos anos para se manifestar. Microcefalia, rebaixamento cognitivo, sinais piramidais, distúrbios do humor e do comportamento e complicações pelo uso da terapia antire t ro v i r a l são comuns. Este é um trabalho observacional, descritivo e seccional cuja finalidade é descrever as alterações do exame neurológico em um grupo de crianças e adolescentes expostos pelo HIV-1 dura… Show more

“…The negative environmental factors and other adverse comorbidities are equally important in this context (16). Seropositive children living in foster care had a worse performance on the fine motor PDMS-II scale, when compared to children living in family homes, which confirms the influence of the external environment on motor acquisition (35).…”

“…Dysarthria might have not been observed, once central nervous system alterations may only be evident after years of the HIV infection, not being observed at early stages. The presence of microcephaly, cognitive impairment, signs of pyramidal tract dysfunction, mood and behavioral disorders, and complications due to the use of antiretroviral therapy are common (9) .…”

“…The action of HIV in the organism of a child ranges from a decrease in immunity due to the destruction of CD4 cells, which makes an individual susceptible to opportunistic infection, to neurological alterations caused by the neurotropism of HIV in a developing brain (6) . The most common neurological alterations are retarded neuropsychomotor development, delayed language acquisition, mental deficiency, hyporeflexia, and pyramidal syndrome (7) . The incidence of these disorders ranges from 30% to 90% in pediatric patients, considering age, intensity and immunological involvement as important factors.…”
