Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HCHB) may be an initial presentation of intracranial involvement of concomitant toxoplasmosis and tuberculosis causing focal cerebritis in the contralateral subthalamic nucleus and cerebral peduncle, particularly in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus infection.Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related HCHB is potentially reversible with timely diagnosis and treatment.
