Prevalence, Associated Factors, and Prognostic Determinants of AIDS‐Related Toxoplasmic Encephalitis in the Era of Advanced Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy

Abstract

TE remains a highly prevalent disorder of the central nervous system, even in the late HAART era, particularly among severely immunosuppressed patients and in absence of prophylaxis. Considering that persons with TE have a high probability of early death, prophylaxis should be maintained in immunosuppressed patients who experience failure of antiretroviral therapy, and HAART should be initiated as soon as possible after TE diagnosis.
