We report a case of rapidly progressive encephalopathy and generalized chorea due to HIV encephalitis.The patient was a 24-year-old man known to be HIV-seropositive for 4 years.The severity of the movement disorder resulted in rhabdomyolysis.Sepsis developed and he died after a 21-day hospitalization.Pathologic study revealed prominent neuronal loss and gliosis of subcortical regions.Acute encephalopathy with generalized chorea may be a rare consequence of HIV encephalitis. |
