¹The Degree of Neuropathology is estimated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being slight edema and/or vacuolization or other similar minimal tissue damage and 5 being profound macrophage infiltration or other severe abnormalities. In the CVD patient, the primary neuropathology observed was atherosclerosis while in the lymphoma patient the primary neuropathology was leptomeningeal lymphoma.

²All patients eventually died with multiple pathologies common to end-stage AIDS; noted in this column are the primary non-neurological causes of death of the patients, as shown in table 2, detectable HIV in most brain tissues.

³HAART therapy was frequently stopped in the weeks or days prior to death.
