The calprotectin level in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 15 HIV positive patients with symptoms from the central nervous system (CNS) was measured. All 5 patients with opportunistic infections had levels above the reference range and all 10 patients with HIV associated encephalopathy had levels within the reference range. Thus, the calprotectin level in CSF can be of diagnostic value in differentiating between HIV associated encephalopathy and opportunistic infection in the HIV positive patient with symptoms from the CNS.
