Abstract:
With the introduction of combination antiretroviral therapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals are living longer, and are commonly confronted with chronic neuromuscular complications. The spectrum of neuromuscular disorders in patients living with HIV infection is wide, and is caused by HIV per se and its products, particular antiretroviral drugs, or a combination of both. The purpose of this chapter is to review peripheral nervous system disorders in the setting of HIV infection, and to provide a general approach to diagnosis and management of these disorders. The early identification of these conditions may help with early intervention and management, allow prevention of morbidities associated with these disorders, and contribute to future research efforts in the field of HIV.
