Summary
В лекции, подготовленной для врачей различного профиля, систематизированы сведения о наиболее важных механизмах поражения головного мозга при ВИЧ-инфекции, частоте развития нейрокогнитивных нарушений и их роли в инвалидизации больных, даны классификации этих нарушений. Диагнозы ЛНР или ВАД устанавливаются примерно у 10–15% и 1–2% ВИЧ-инфицированных взрослых соответственно, и именно этой важной подгруппе пациентов для повышения качества повседневной жизни также необходимо активное лечение когнитивных нарушений [29].
