Altered mental status (AMS) is a priority presenting sign that must be assessed in HIV-infected, febrile children, yet diagnosis is difficult in areas with limited diagnostic capacity. Malaria and bacterial meningitis have been reported as the most common causes of AMS in febrile children presenting to t...

Introduction: The neurodevelopmental impact of HIV infection in older children has been welldescribed, with characterization of HIV-associated encephalopathy (HIVE) and associated cognitive
defects. HIVE is relatively common in older children who were vertically infected. The sparse literature on HIVE in...
