HIV-1–associated syndromes in primary infection
Acute HIV infection is the period from initial infection to complete seroconversion. During this time 40% to 90% of individuals describe physical symptoms, similar to influenza, or mononucleosis. The most common features include a short period of fever, lymphadenopathy, night sweats, headache, or rash.8, 9 Early CNS infection is usually asymptomatic, but cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)10 and imaging studies11 can detect abnormalities even during the “asymptomatic” period that presage later neurologic

2016, Medical Mycology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Fungal infections are infrequent causes of central nervous system (CNS) ring enhancing lesions in patients with advanced acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). More frequent processes include toxoplasmosis, primary CNS lymphoma, metastases, pyogenic brain abscesses, and tuberculomas (in areas of high endemicity for tuberculosis) [1]. The radiologic finding of a ring enhancing lesion is insufficient to distinguish between the possible etiologic causes [2].
