Abstract: This paper reports a case of AIDS whose first symptom was SAE. The main clinic characteristics were epilepsy, and brain atrophy. In addition, there were also other features in this case, such as multiorgan damage, weight loss, fever and diarrhea. The patient's serum showed a positive result to anti HTLV-III, and TH:Ts = 0.22 less than 1. According to the direct pathogenic effect of HIV on CNS, which is similar to SV, we made the diagnosis that it was the first case of SAE of AIDS in China. We also made a preliminary exploration into the cause of low Ig in the case.
