 AB    The AIDS dementia complex (ADC) is a clinical syndrome which
       characteristically presents as a subcortical dementia with cognitive,
       motor and behavioral changes. While the pathogenesis remains puzzling in
       a number of critical aspects, ADC likely relates in a fundamental way to
       HIV-1, itself, rather than to a secondary, opportunistic condition. This
       review focuses on some of the clinical information which bears on the
       pathogenesis of this syndrome and its relation to HIV-1 infection. This
       information derives from studies of the clinical character of ADC, its
       epidemiology and natural history, cerebrospinal fluid analysis,
       neuroimaging results, clinical correlates of pathological findings and
       its response to antiviral therapy.
