Abstract
Bacterial infections, including mycobacterial infections, must be part of the differential diagnosis of CNS infections in patients with AIDS. TB of the CNS is common in HIV-infected patients. Ring-enhancing lesions that do not respond to anti-Toxoplasma therapy are suggestive of CNS TB, especially in the presence of pulmonary TB. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, Nocardia, Listeria, and Clostridia are rare causes of CNS infection in patients with AIDS.
