Ischemic stroke in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients: An increasingly age-related comorbidity?

Abstract: Introduction The global incidence of ischemic stroke among patients with human immunodeficiency virus is increasing. The aim of this controlled case analysis was to study patient characteristics, stroke etiologies, and risk factors in human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients in a medical system with easy access to antiretroviral therapies. Patients and methods We conducted a retrospective, observational study of human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients treated in our stroke unit and outpatient clin… Show more

“…Encouraging PLHIVs into care and retaining them are essential to maintaining plVLs <50 copies/mL, and might prevent strokes 18 and facilitate functional recovery. 26,33 As previously reported, 3,6,17 stroke etiologies decreased in frequency from LAA to undetermined, other cause, CSVD and cardioembolism, and were globally comparable for PLHIVs and HUCs. Strokes of unknown cause affect ~30% of the general population.…”

“…No major complications (e.g., symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage or death) occurred, supporting reports of thrombolysis safety in PLHIVs. 3,8,9 The CVRF burden, including smoking and recreational drug use, was comparable for PLHIVs and HUCs. PLHIVs' CVD frequency agreed with those reported previously.…”
