AIDS-Related Focal Brain Lesions in the Era of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
Neurol 55:1194-1200, Ammassari,A.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
During the HAART era, AIDS-related primary CNS lymphoma showed a strong decline, toxoplasmic encephalitis remained stable, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy showed a slight increase. Focal white matter lesions without mass effe ct or contrast enhancement became the most frequently seen focal brain lesion. For differential diagnosis, PCR-based assays from CSF led to a shift from brain biopsy toward a minimally invasive approach with an augmented likelihood of in vivo diagnosis.
