title: Neuromuscular complications of human immunodeficiency virus infection.
abstract: As the lifespan of patients with HIV infection is prolonged with more effective antiviral therapies, the prevalence of neuromuscular disorders is likely to increase. The understanding of the pathogenesis and optimal therapy of these illnesses has advanced during the past 5 years. However, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge. It is important that neurologists remain at the forefront of investigation and treatment of these complex disorders.
