Coloured CT scan of brain abscess in AIDS patient
Brain abscess in AIDS. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of an axial section through the brain of an AIDS patient, showing cerebral abscess. At top left is the lesion (yellow) of the abscess, with affected and discoloured brain tissue near it. At centre are dark ventricles of the brain; folds of the cerebrum are seen on the edge of the brain. An abscess is a collection of pus due to infection. In AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome), infections result from the lowered immunity of the patient. Cerebral abscess in AIDS patients may be due to infection by bacteria or toxoplasma

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured CT scan of a brain abscess in an AIDS patient, offering a glimpse into the intricate world of medical imaging. The image reveals an axial section through the brain, with the focal point being the vibrant yellow lesion representing the abscess. Surrounding this area, one can observe discoloured and affected brain tissue, serving as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of infection. Intriguingly, at the center of the image lie dark ventricles that provide insight into the internal structure of this vital organ. Delicate folds on the edge of the brain hint at its complexity and highlight its role as our body's command center. The presence of a cerebral abscess signifies an accumulation of pus caused by infection. In individuals with AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome), such infections arise due to compromised immunity. It is worth noting that these specific abscesses may be attributed to bacterial or toxoplasma infections. This remarkable photograph not only serves as a visual testament to human health care and diagnostic capabilities but also sheds light on diseases like toxoplasmosis and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. By capturing this moment in time, Science Photo Library provides us with valuable knowledge about these conditions while emphasizing their significance within medical research and treatment development.
