Received Date: Nov 01, 2024 / Published Date: Nov 30, 2024
Abstract
Cerebral hemorrhage is a serious complication in HIV-positive patients, often associated with a range of cerebrovascular diseases, including those potentially related to HIV itself. This case report presents an autopsy of an HIV-positive patient who exhibited clinical signs of cerebrovascular disease, ultimately diagnosed postmortem as cerebral hemorrhage. We explore the potential connection between HIV infection and cerebrovascular pathologies, with an emphasis on HIV-related vascular changes, immune system dysfunction, and direct viral effects on the central nervous system. This report highlights the need for heightened awareness of cerebrovascular risks in HIV-infected individuals, even in the context of effective antiretroviral therapy. The findings underline the importance of considering HIV-related cerebrovascular disease in the differential diagnosis of neurological events in HIV-positive patients, as well as the potential challenges in diagnosis and management.
