    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection can manifest with diverse neurological complications.
    • Peripheral neuropathies are recognized neurological complications associated with HIV/AIDS.

    Observation:

    • A young male intravenous drug user with multiple HIV risk factors and confirmed HIV serology presented with acute, painful urinary retention.
    • The urinary retention was attributed to a parasympathetic mononeuropathy.

    Findings:

    • Extensive investigations for other etiologic agents of the mononeuropathy were negative.
    • The authors propose HIV infection as the likely cause of the patient's symptom complex.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential, albeit uncommon, presentation of neurological involvement in early HIV infection.

  • It underscores the importance of considering HIV as an etiology for unexplained peripheral neuropathies, including those affecting autonomic functions like bladder control.
  • Further research into the spectrum of HIV-associated neuropathies is warranted.
