 AB    A case of a woman with visual hallucinations in the absence of other
       organic or psychiatric findings--symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of
       Charles Bonnet syndrome--is reported. The women was HIV positive,
       although asymptomatic for conventional complications of HIV infection.
       After considering possible causes of the hallucinations, including
       prescription drug effects and conversion or factitious disorder, the
       authors suggest that the woman's symptoms may have been associated with
       undetectable effects of HIV on the brain.
