A RARE CASE OF LATE ONSET HIV RELATED MANIA
Abstract
Abstract : Neuropsychiatric complications of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) may present clinically as acute or chronic organic brain syndrome, or mimic functional psychiatric diseases. Among such psychiatric diseases, mania tends to occur with increased frequency after the onset of AIDS. We report a case in which manic manifestations were noted before the diagnosis of AIDS. The patient had no past or family history of mood disorders. Mania in HIV positive individuals has been well documented in studies done worldwide (Mijch AM , Angelino A et al 2001).Clinicians should be mindful of HIV infectionAIDS as a differential diagnosis in patients with manic episodes and risk factors for HIV infection.
