“…[1][2][3] HIV-1 dementia complex is characterized histologically as HIV encephalitis (HIVE) with accumulations of perivascular macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, nodular lesions with areas of focal necrosis, and white matter thinning. 4 -6 The transmission of virus to the central nervous system (CNS) by macrophages during acute HIV-1 infection has been proposed to account for HIV-1 dementia complex and HIVE, even though both occur much later in the course of the disease.…”

“…Antiretroviral failures occur commonly and represent a particular problem for treatment of brain infection. Indeed, inefficient penetration of antiretroviral drugs into the CNS and ART failure de novo could contribute to viral mutation and sustained viral replication in brain (Jellinger et al, 2000;Sacktor et al, 2001). Therefore, development of new approaches to improve the CNS delivery and efficacy of ART (including novel drug delivery systems) is necessary to improve the targeted efficacy of current drug therapies within the brain sanctuary.…”

“…Houve um declínio nos relatos da incidência de demência com a introdução da HAART e consequente reconstituição imune nos países desenvolvidos 25,26 , mas deve-se ter cautela na interpretação destes dados que subestimam o impacto atual desta doença 27 . Há simultaneamente relatos de aumento da prevalência e um aumento da incidência de déficit cognitivo menor comparado à demência.…”

“…Há simultaneamente relatos de aumento da prevalência e um aumento da incidência de déficit cognitivo menor comparado à demência. Aliado a isto houve um aumento da proporção de indivíduos com alterações cognitivas diagnosticados com uma melhor imunidade (contagem de linfócitos T CD4 maior que 200 céls/mm 3 ) e também um aumento da incidência da demência como doença definidora de Aids 26,27 . Encefalopatia pelo HIV continua presente em cerca 25% dos pacientes que submetem à autópsia.…”
