==== Infectious diseases ==== Certain types of infections are known to cause catatonia either through directly impairing brain function or by making a person more likely to contract diseases that impair brain function. HIV and [[AIDS]] can cause catatonia, most likely by predisposing one to infections in the brain, including different types of viral encephalitis.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Volkow |first1=N D |last2=Harper |first2=A |last3=Munnisteri |first3=D |last4=Clother |first4=J |date=1987-01-01 |title=AIDS and catatonia. |journal=Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry |language=en |volume=50 |issue=1 |pages=104 |doi=10.1136/jnnp.50.1.104-a |issn=0022-3050 |pmc=1033262 |pmid=3819740}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Hisamoto |first1=Yoshimi |last2=Gabriel |first2=Genevieve |last3=Verma |first3=Sonam |last4=Karakas |first4=Cemal |last5=Chari |first5=Geetha |date=2017-04-18 |title=Catatonia as a rare manifestation of HIV associated psychosis in adolescents.
