Description

Progressive leukoencephalopathy associated with human immunodeficiency virus disease associated with malaria is a rare neurological condition that occurs in individuals with compromised immune systems, particularly those infected with HIV. This condition is characterized by the progressive degeneration of white matter in the brain, leading to various neurological deficits.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term is highly specific and may not be familiar to all healthcare providers. Common variants that may be heard include 'leucoencefalopatía' without the HIV or malaria context, which could lead to confusion. It is important to use the full term in formal medical contexts to ensure clarity.
