We report a case of acute regressive meningoradiculitis concomitant with HIV1 primoinfection. The clinical symptoms were mild and disappeared spontaneously. Electromyographic studies confirmed the regressive demyelinating-type process. The biological diagnosis of HIV1 infection was demonstrated by viral antigen detection, by the presence of the integrated proviral DNA after gene amplification by a polymerase chain reaction, and in particular, by the steady progression in the appearance of different HIV1-specific antibodies. This was shown using three different Western blot kits whose performances were compared.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008581 Meningitis Inflammation of the coverings of the brain and/or spinal cord, which consist of the PIA MATER; ARACHNOID; and DURA MATER. Infections (viral, bacterial, and fungal) are the most common causes of this condition, but subarachnoid hemorrhage (HEMORRHAGES, SUBARACHNOID), chemical irritation (chemical MENINGITIS), granulomatous conditions, neoplastic conditions (CARCINOMATOUS MENINGITIS), and other inflammatory conditions may produce this syndrome. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1994, Ch24, p6) Pachymeningitis,Meningitides,Pachymeningitides
D011843 Radiculopathy Disease involving a spinal nerve root (see SPINAL NERVE ROOTS) which may result from compression related to INTERVERTEBRAL DISK DISPLACEMENT; SPINAL CORD INJURIES; SPINAL DISEASES; and other conditions.
