Neurologic abnormalities in HIV-1 infected children in the era of combination antiretroviral therapy.
<h4>Background</h4>Pediatric HIV-1 infection is associated with neurologic abnormalities. In recent years, the neurological outcome of HIV-1 infected children has substantially improved with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). However, data regarding the long-term effect of cART a...
