OBJECTIVE: To report two cases of an axonal motor polyradiculoneuropathy
associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection in otherwise
asymptomatic subjects. DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: Tertiary care hospital
neurology inpatient service. RESULTS: Electrophysiologic testing showed
acute denervation with almost normal sensory potentials and no evidence of
demyelination. CONCLUSIONS: These cases present an example of an acute
axonal polyradiculoneuropathy in persons infected with human
immunodeficiency virus without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
