 AB    We report a 29-year-old male hemophiliac with human immunodeficiency
       virus (HIV)-1-associated dementia complex, who died 2.5 months after the
       onset of dementia. The patient's cognitive abnormalities including
       forgetfulness, loss of concentration and slowing of thought appeared
       about 7 years after HIV infection. His neurological symptoms were
       characterized as progressive dementia, episodic consciousness loss,
       transverse myelopathy and peripheral neuropathy. He had generalized slow
       waves in electroencephalogram (EEG), progressive cerebral atrophy and a
       diffuse high intensity lesion in the white matter as shown by
       T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We emphasize the
       significance of neurological complications, especially acute progressive
       dementia, in Japanese patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
       (AIDS).
