Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
- Clinical Electrophysiology
Background:
- Peripheral polyneuropathy (PNP) is a known complication in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- The clinical and electrophysiological presentation of PNP in HIV can vary significantly based on disease stage.
