title: [Acute human immunodeficiency virus infection associated with facial diplegia].
abstract: We describe the case of a 21-year-old parenterally drug-addict man, who presented an acute and self-limited disease, temporarily associated to seroconversion against the human immunodeficiency virus. During his evolution, the patient developed aseptic meningitis and facial diplegia. Two lymphatic ganglions were histopathologically and sequentially studied during the third and sixth week of the disease, showing an intense follicular depletion in the first sample, which reverted towards a pattern of follicular hyperplasia in the second one.
