Abstract
Aim: to conduct a clinical and epidemiological analysis of cases of central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) in HIV-infected patients. Materials and methods. Four patients hospitalized in the infectious diseases department of No. 1 Clinic of the South Ural State Medical University were under dynamic observation. Results and its discussion. Four patients hospitalized in the infectious diseases department of Clinic No. 1 of the South Ural State Medical University were under dynamic observation. Patient management was carried out in accordance with current clinical recommendations for the provision of medical care to patients with HIV infection with a set of clinical and laboratory methods, including examination of lumbar puncture, its cytological and biochemical composition, determination of DNA of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr viruses (EBV) herpes simplex types 1 and 2, T. gondii, Cr. Neoformans, M. Tuberculosis, Cryptococcus neoformans, the presence of pathogens of bacterial infections. All patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Conclusion. The process of demyelination of the central nervous system develops regardless of the level of CD4 lymphocytes and HIV viral load. The main method for verifying the diagnosis is MRI of the brain
