Abstract

This is the case of a 28 years old female patient who came with dysartria and right hemiparesis. Ischemic cerebrovascular disease of the young adult was diagnosed. We rule out less frequent causes of cerebrovascular disease and finally we confirm that she was infected with the human immunodeficiency virus and also presented anticardiolipin antibodies. This association is very controversia/. In the young adult, the incidence of cerebrovascular disease is larger between those HIV positive. Opportunistic infections, secondary antiphospholipid syndrome and the vasculitides generated by the virus itself could be the explanation. There are stil/ pending trials to clarify the mechanism of this association. The HIV patient posses several confusing factors that should be excluded, between them the opportunistic infectios.
