Popis: A 35-year-old man with advanced AIDS presented to the emergency department after a witnessed syncopal event. He felt light-headed after walking from the bathroom to his chair. While speaking to his partner, he suddenly became unresponsive and lost motor tone, and his breathing appeared shallow and labored, prompting his partner to call 911. He regained consciousness after approximately two minutes and had no recollection of the event. There was no evidence of tonic–clonic seizure activity or postictal confusion.
