To provide a venue for a comprehensive multidisciplinary review of the
current state of knowledge regarding the human immunodeficiency virus–associated
peripheral neuropathies and to provide the institute with guidance in formulating
future research initiatives, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (Bethesda, Md) convened a workshop on September 18 through 19,
2000. The participants were chosen from various disciplines and included clinicians,
pathologists, neurobiologists, neurophysiologists, virologists, and neuroimmunologists.
The present article summarizes the highlights of the meeting and includes
the recommendations developed by the participants for future research. As
might be expected in a rapidly evolving scientific field, the meeting was
characterized by a lively and far-ranging discussion of data interpretation,
experimental approaches, and priorities for future research. However, the
recommendations presented at the end of this article constitute a consensus
judgment reached by all of the participants of the most important areas for
future research.
