When viral encephalitis occurs in the context of HIV encephalitis, the management strategy is shaped by the underlying HIV-driven CNS involvement. This specific clinical combination calls for a directed, evidence-based approach.
Clinical scenario: Viral encephalitis in a patient with HIV encephalitis — a setting in which active HIV disease contributes directly to the encephalitic presentation and must be addressed as part of the treatment plan.
Treatment approach (partial): Evidence-based guidance for this scenario centres on a specific category of antiretroviral therapy. The complete agent selection, sequencing, and clinical algorithm are contained in the full protocol.
