Abstract: The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is manifested by severe immunologic (predominantly T-lymphocyte) abnormalities and opportunistic infections. Central nervous system (CNS) infections are frequent. Pathogens causing CNS infections in AIDS patients include parasites, fungi, and viruses and are similar to those reported in other states of impaired cell mediated immunity (CMI). A case of relapsing, bacteremic Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis in an AIDS patient is presented.
