Elevated ischemic stroke risk among women living with HIV infection
Conclusion: The increased risk of ischemic stroke among WLWH compared with HIV-uninfected women persisted after adjusting for both traditional and sex-specific stroke risk factors. Further investigation into the mechanisms of elevated stroke risk among WLWH, including immunologic factors, will be key for developing targeted preventive strategies for this at-risk population.

Stroke incidence is highest in women and non-Hispanic blacks living with HIV in the AIDS Clinical Trials Group Longitudinal Linked Randomized Trials cohort
Conclusion: Women and non-Hispanic Blacks living with HIV had the highest incidence rates of stroke/TIA. A concerted effort must be made to include PLWH from these at-risk groups in observational and interventional studies aimed at understanding stroke mechanisms and reducing stroke risk in HIV infection. Strategies to modify stroke risk in PLWH should employ a multipronged approach targeting vascular risk factors and engaging and retaining patients in HIV care.

Association of HIV and Opportunistic Infections With Incident Stroke: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study in Taiwan
Conclusions: Patients with HIV had an increased risk of stroke, particularly those with cryptococcal meningitis, cytomegalovirus, or P. marneffei infection.

Infections causing stroke or stroke-like syndromes
ConclusionsStroke or stroke-like syndrome of infectious origin can be observed in an important proportion of case presenting with sensory-motor deficit of unknown origin; their accurate diagnosis has a considerable impact in terms of treatment choices and outcome.

Types of Stroke Among People Living With HIV in the United States
Conclusion: Ischemic stroke, particularly small vessel and cardioembolic subtypes, were the most common strokes among PLWH. Traditional and HIV-related risk factors differed by stroke type/subtype. Precipitating factors including infections and drug use were common. These results suggest that there may be different biological phenomena occurring among PLWH and that understanding HIV-related and traditional risk factors and in particular precipitating factors for each type/subtype may be key to understanding, and therefore preventing, strokes among PLWH.

Effect of CD4+ cell count and viral suppression on risk of ischemic stroke in HIV infection
Conclusion:Achieving viral suppression may reduce ischemic stroke risk, including risk of atherosclerotic strokes, in HIV-infected individuals.

Ischaemic stroke in HIV ‐infected patients: a case–control study
ConclusionsIn our single centre study, we found associations of illegal drug use, HIV replication and some traditional vascular risk factors with the occurrence of ischaemic cerebral events. The paradigm of the care of HIV‐infected patients is changing. Concomitant diseases in the ageing patient with HIV infection, including cerebrovascular disease, must also be addressed in view of their impacts on morbidity and mortality. Apart from controlling the HIV infection and immunosuppression with ART, vascular risk factors must also be addressed.

Stroke patients with COVID-19 have increased inflammation, stroke severity and death
(University of Alabama at Birmingham) Stroke patients who also have COVID-19 showed increased systemic inflammation, a more serious stroke severity and a much higher rate of death, compared to stroke patients who did not have COVID-19, according a retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study of 60 ischemic stroke patients admitted to UAB Hospital between late March and early May 2020.

Risk of subsequent ischemic stroke in patients with nontyphoidal salmonellosis: A nationwide population-based cohort study
Stroke remains to be the priority cause of disability in human being.1 Despite much effort devoted, the rate of cryptogenic stroke still has been quoted as high as 26 –40 % of patients.2 There has been a lot of traditional stroke surveillance and treatment strategies but infection usually is underestimated for it is considered an associated factor rather than a direct cause.3 Infections are of importance in stroke subpopulation, especially of unknown etiology a nd of younger patients without well-known risk factors.

Case Report: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with Ischemic Stroke
We report a case of ischemic stroke in a patient with dengue hemorrhagic fever. A 52-year-old previously healthy male presented with a history of fever for 2 days, and left-sided weakness and numbness of sudden onset. MRI scanning showed a right-sided thalamic lacunar infarct. Diagnosis of dengue fever was made based on leuco-thrombocytopenia, positive dengue nonstructural protein-1 (NS-1) antigen, and positive dengue IgM antibodies. Severity of limb weakness correlated with the critical phase of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). He was discharged home with good recovery from neurological symptoms and disability. Strokes are...

Diagnostic accuracy of the Recognition of Stroke in the Emergency Room (ROSIER) score and CT brain in an HIV population
The study by Sonneville et al. drew attention to the range of neurological presentations of people with HIV. HIV infection and its treatment, are thought to increase the risk of stroke, especially ischaemic stroke in young adults. However, HIV also increases the risk of stroke mimics such as intracranial toxoplasma infection. Correctly identifying such mimics, especially infections, is essential, because they have different management, are potentially treatable and carry a worse prognosis if misdiagnosed.

Acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in two covid-19 patients.
We report two cases with coincident presentation of COVID-19 and cerebrovascular accident. Further studies are needed for a comprehensive understanding of the neurological pathology of COVID-19 and its effects on the nervous system, but stroke teams should be wary of the fact that COVID-19 patients can present with cerebrovascular accidents.
