中新社多伦多9月28日电 加拿大卡尔加里大学神经学博士克里斯•鲍尔在9月28日的国际神经学期刊上发表文章称，艾滋病毒导致神经系统疾病。
鲍尔在文章中称，研究表明，1/4HIV阳性患者患有神经系统疾病，而在加拿大中年人中患有神经系统疾病的比例仅为5%。
鲍尔说，同时患有艾滋病和脑部疾病的患者，死亡风险比只患艾滋病者高出2倍。
这项研究范围包括自1998年至2008年在加拿大卡尔加里市诊所里进行艾滋病毒治疗的1651人。据该研究小组报告，其中404名艾滋病毒感染者有癫痫、痴呆、手脚神经疼、记忆力衰退、头痛、偏头痛等神经方面的问题。
研究还发现，艾滋病患者比仅仅是艾滋病毒呈阳性者，患脑部疾病的机会要高出2倍。
研究显示，HIV病毒引发的炎症会破坏大脑，艾滋病毒会减少血液流向大脑的某些部位，从而导致记忆衰退，以及通常只出现在许多老年患者身上的认知功能问题。
鲍尔认为，目前亟需开发既能攻击艾滋病病毒，但又不会损伤大脑的新药物。
