This case describes a 34-year-old female with no prior chronic illness who presented with a month of worsening headache, intermittent fevers, and a generalized tonic-clonic convulsion. Initial investigations, including a brain CT, revealed multiple hypoattenuated subcortical lesions suggestive of CNS toxoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, or metastatic brain tumor. The patient was diagnosed with advanced HIV disease and suspected central nervous system lesions. Despite treatment with anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and supportive care, she experienced further seizures and ultimately passed away due to increased intracranial pressure and tuberculous meningitis.
