Unmasking of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in a patient with HIV-2
Int J STD AIDS.

Abstract
HIV-2 is common in West Africa but rarely found in developed countries. It usually has a milder disease course than HIV-1 and clinical presentations of neurological syndromes in HIV-2 are extremely rare. We report a case of a HIV-2-infected, 46-year-old woman originally from Cote d'Ivoire who presented with possible intracerebral toxoplasmosis infection then developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
