A manic syndrome in eight patients with AIDS is described. On the basis of
clinical, neuropsychological, laboratory, magnetic resonance imaging, and
epidemiological evidence, the authors suggest that the manic syndrome was
secondary to HIV infection. The patients also developed concomitant
cognitive impairment.
