Peripheral nervous system (PNS) involvement in the form of different neuropathies in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is increasingly more common. We present a series of 20 HIV + patients subjected to neurophysiological study. The most commonly observed neurological disorder was a slight axonal-type sensitivo-distal polyneuropathy that predominantly affected the lower limbs during the early stages of infection. As HIV infection evolves, the polyneuropathy worsens and becomes a sensitivo-motor polyneuropathy with a more important axonal component. Secondary demyelinization is observed, with additional involvement of the upper limbs in the final stages of infection. The most frequent neurophysiological finding was a decrease in somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and conduction velocity (CV) of the sural nerve.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.
