Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dementia is characterized by cognitive, motor, and behavioral abnormalities that develop over weeks or months. Fulminant presentations are not well described in the literature. In this report we describe a patient with HIV dementia who presented with acute changes in mental status that occurred over 2 days, resulting in rapid deterioration and death in 1 month.
