We took him to the hospital. My sister treated and immediately subjected to several examinations, including MRI examination that expensive. The conclusion was that my brother had Toxoplasma infection in his brain.
The doctor asked us to talk and ask my brother habits, including whether he ever used injection drugs. Indeed, my younger brother about six years ago using injection drugs, but we already took him to the doctor and thankfully these habits to halt five years ago. He can go back to school and a history of drug use has become the past.
According to the doctor, my brother was infected with hepatitis C and HIV. Immune already low, only 82, but normally more than 400. As a result, my younger brother suffered two opportunistic infections, namely tuberculosis and Toxoplasma in the brain. We were really surprised by the explanation the doctor. Infection of the brain is certainly a dangerous disease and its treatment is difficult.
Our whole family will give support to my sister to be cured of lung and brain infection. I know for hepatitis C drug is expensive and a cure for HIV will be able to help the government. My question is whether my brother to recover his health after getting an infection in the brain? Is he going to defect, how the capacity to think? Right now though severe headache, consciousness is still good. Thanks for the explanation physician

HIV infection in our country are often obtained. It is estimated there are about 300,000 people infected in Indonesia. If the body's immune (CD4) decreased sharply, then there is the risk of infection who were on the so-called opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections in people with HIV / AIDS (HIV) are often in Indonesia is tuberculosis. However, at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital of opportunistic infections in the form of an infection of the brain are fairly common.
At the hospital there were about 400 brain infection, including Toxoplasma. The Indonesian population is very familiar with Toxoplasma. Generally in life, we have been exposed to Toxoplasma, usually through contaminated food (usually meat) that contain Toxoplasma. After the exposure we might get sick of a fever and swollen lymph nodes neck area.
If the infection was cured, the parasite Toxoplasma still exist in our bodies. At the time of severe immune decline in HIV infection for example, it will experience a reactivation of Toxoplasma. Reactivation occurs frequently in the form of Toxoplasma infection of the brain. Symptoms of toxoplasmosis of the brain is a progressive form of headache that can be accompanied by vomiting. The diagnosis will be more sharp when done on brain imaging examination, either by CT scan or MRI. But unfortunately the two examinations are expensive, so if not possible, then the doctor should be able to rely on clinical skills.
