The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationship between the alpha tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and the neurological disease associated to the HIV-1 infection and different neurological manifestations (15 infections of the CNS and 11 AIDS-dementia complexes) and 14 from a control group. The mean value of TNF-alpha in CSF of patients with HIV-1 infection and AIDS-dementia complex was 19.8 +/- 30.6 pg/ml, superior to that of the control group (p < 0.05). The group of patients with HIV-1 and opportunistic CNS infection has a TNF-alpha value of 28.5 +/- 37.8 pg/ml, that is superior to that of the patients with the AIDS-dementia complex (TNF-alpha = 7.9 +/- 9.4 pg ml; p < 0.05). Within the group of patients with a CNS infection, the value of TNF-alpha was greater in those in the acute phase (44.2 +/- 42.4 pg/ml) than in those in the chronic phase (6.8 +/- 7.6 pg/ml; p < 0.05). The TNF-alpha in the CSF is a good marker of infection of the CNS in the HIV-1 infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.

D015526 AIDS Dementia Complex A neurologic condition associated with the ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME and characterized by impaired concentration and memory, slowness of hand movements, ATAXIA, incontinence, apathy, and gait difficulties associated with HIV-1 viral infection of the central nervous system. Pathologic examination of the brain reveals white matter rarefaction, perivascular infiltrates of lymphocytes, foamy macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells.
