Abstract
|
|
|
Acute human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) syndrome develops in 40 to 90% of new HIV-1 infections. In Korea, recent increases in HIV-1 infection rates suggest that the number of patients experiencing acute HIV syndrome will also increase.
Furthermore, it has been reported that aseptic meningitis occurs in 24% of patients with acute HIV syndrome. The inclusion of acute HIV syndrome in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningitis is crucial; however, few reports of acute HIV syndrome presenting as aseptic meningitis in Korea exist. Here we report a case of aseptic meningitis in a patient who received early antiretroviral therapy after a diagnosis of acute HIV syndrome.
