GARCIA ORTIZ, Lorena; ARCILA BONFANTE, Zuri M.  y  MEDINAVASQUEZ, Sandra R.. Neuropsychological profile in a 50-year-old patient with Tuberculosis /HIV coinfection. Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.2, pp.85-98. ISSN 1900-2386.  https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.2927.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that invades the immune system causing it to weaken and unable to defend the body from invading infectious organisms. This factor is used by the opportunistic diseases, being tuberculosis (TBC), one of the most prevalent in patients with HIV. TBC/HIV coninfection causes a progressive deterioration of the immune system, neurological aftermath and neuropsychological alterations. The purpose of this study is to describe the neuropsychological profile of an 50 year old man with HIV and an opportunistic disease (TBC). For the neuropsychological evaluation were used subtests of the Test Barcelona, the NEURONORMA and the BANFE-2. The results suggested a prefrontal syndrome with greater alteration of the dorsolateral and orbital circuits. This study stimulates research that amplifies information about the differential neuropsychological aftermath of HIV and TBC, as well as those resulting from its interaction.

Palabras clave : HIV; TBC; Neuropsychological Alterations; Prefrontal Syndrome; Dorsolateral Circuit and Orbitofrontal Circuit.
