Y and also visibly damaged subcortical areas [45,46]. Amyloid plaques in AD result from the deposition of amyloid beta (Ab) which is a putative pathogenic molecule in AD. Ab is the cleavage product of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and APP mutations are associated with inherited forms of AD. The clinical implication or pathogenic consequences of brain amyloid deposition are still controversia
Ignificantly longer lives. While HAART has been increasing the lifespan of those infected with HIV, it has also led to an increased prevalence of HAD [32-38]. As the pathology of HAD, like Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is commonly characterized by an increase in the amount of amyloid-beta (Ab) peptide in the brain [39], evidence suggesting microglia modulate the clearance of potentially neurotoxic Ab

Addressing referee critiques. JS, AC, SR, and JJ were responsible for the initial literature search and first draft one of the review. DO contributed to the generation of Figure 1. JT provided review material for incorporation into the paper regarding the role of CD45 in neurodegeneration in the context of AD. FF provided clinical background regarding HIV and Alzheimer's-type dementias. All author

Sed tau (a component of the neurofibrillary tangle, a second AD neuropathological hallmark) have been proposed as sensitive and specific markers of AD in several studies [47,48]. It has also been found that changes in CSF Ab and tau are comparable to those observed in AD and HAD patients [49]. The pathogenic significance of these biomarkers is not well established but it has been hypothesized that

Ctedwomen who used NVP-based highly active ART with CD4 counts higher than 350 cells/ .19 ART interruption exposes the HIV patient to risk of developing drug resistance. Proper use of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infection enhances treatment outcomes and immunological recovery.LimitationsThe small sample size of pharmacies which were stocking ARVs is a limitation of this study.

Molecules including major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II and CD40 [15]. Microglia expressing MHC II induce CD4+ T cells to generate IFN-g and TNF-a [16]. In the case of both HAD and AD, this response is considered harmful to the brain and in both diseases TNFa is elevated to neurotoxic levels while only in HAD is IFN-g is prominently elevated [14]. In HIV associated dementia (HAD; also known
