| dc.description.abstract | Purpose:
This study aimed to determine the rate, cause and management of seizures in the context of potential ART–ASD interactions in a cohort of HIV + individuals.
Methods:
Records of 604 HIV + patients were reviewed and those reporting epilepsy/seizure diagnosis were further evaluated.
Results:
This cohort exhibited a seizure rate of 2.4%. HIV + patients treated for epilepsy displayed low serum ASD levels and failed to achieve seizure control. They were more likely to disengage from Neurology follow-up.
Conclusion:
For HIV + patients presenting with seizures/epilepsy the ASD prescription and the provision of supplementary support services needs to be carefully considered. | en |
