Human immunodeficiency virus-associated motor axonal polyradiculoneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE
To report two cases of an axonal motor polyradiculoneuropathy associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection in otherwise asymptomatic subjects.


METHODS
Case series.


METHODS
Tertiary care hospital neurology inpatient service.


RESULTS
Electrophysiologic testing showed acute denervation with almost normal sensory potentials and no evidence of demyelination.


CONCLUSIONS
These cases present an example of an acute axonal polyradiculoneuropathy in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
