ABSTRACT

New evidence is emerging supporting the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a common cause of neurological disturbances in HIV-1/AIDS patients. The neurological manifestations of the co-infection are major causes of consultation in neurological and psychiatric units. Motor, verbal, learning and attention deficits disorders have been recognized in a growing basis not only as the cause of metabolic encephalopathy, but as a product of HCV infection to cells of the central nervous system (CNS). In this review, we describe the main features of the co-infection, emphasizing in the epidemiology, molecular biology and pathogenesis of the neurological disease associated to the co-infection.
