title: Acute urinary retention due to viral coinfections (HIV, HBV, VZV).
abstract: We report a case of acute urinary retention with meningoradiculoneuritis resulting from coinfection with varicella-zoster virus (VZV), HIV, and hepatitis B virus (HBV). The case is discussed in the context of other neurological syndromes associated with VZV and HIV infections, and of other viral causes of acute retention of urine.
