โœฆ Synopsis

A young woman had hemichorea-hemiballismus subsequently found to be secondary to a cerebral toxoplasmosis infection complicating human immunodeficiency virus infection. This patient had the sixth reported case of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) with hemichorea-hemiballismus, and each has been secondary to cerebral toxoplasmosis. The presence of hemichorea-hemiballismus in a young patient should suggest a diagnosis of AIDS and in particular the diagnosis of secondary cerebral toxoplasmosis. Other movement disorders that occur in AIDS are discussed.
