title: Transient bone marrow oedema syndrome in an HIV-infected patient on highly active antiretroviral therapy.
abstract: Bone marrow oedema syndrome (BMES, also known as transient osteoporosis) is an uncommon, self-limiting condition characterized by disabling pain, reversible osteopaenia on X-rays and by bone marrow oedema pattern on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here we describe the first reported case of BMES in an HIV-positive patient on highly active antiretroviral therapy.
