Course in the Wards On admission mannitol, citicholine, oxcarbazepine started Infectious Disease referral: started Pyrimethamine- Sulfadoxine (Fansidar) and Clindamycin, and Folinic acid
2nd H.D. Referral to Gastroenterology service due to elevated liver transaminases Fansidar and Clindamycin shifted to Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole UTZ: no hepatobiliary abnormalities Anti HCV reactive HCV RNA > 850,000 iu/mm started nutritional and liver support
7th H.D. Referral to Ophthalmology service due to blurring of vision. Fluorescein angiography was done and CMV retinitis was diagnosed. CMV antigenemia 13- 15wbc/smear Valganciclovir started
