Abstract
Neurocognitive disorder was noted to be associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) even before HIV-1 was suspected of being the agent responsible for immunosuppression. Horowitz et al. (1982) observed that seven of nine patients suffering from gay-related immunodeficiency disorder, and who had CMV retinopathy as a complication, had neurological disorders, including disturbance in higher mental functioning. At the same time Britton et al. (1982) observed that three of their four patients with “gay-immunosuppressed syndrome” with neurological complications suffered from psychosis and dementia. In the following year Snider et al. (1983) reported that 18 of a series of 50 brains examined neuropathologically had evidence of subacute encephalopathy; furthermore, many of these patients exhibited, prior to death, clinical evidence of disturbed cognitive functioning and impaired ability to look after themselves.
