Acute polyradiculoneuritis revealing HIV infection associated with myositis (about a case)

Abstract

AcutePRN are described in this review, two uncommon forms of treatable neuropathies. They associate a proximo-distal sensory-motor attack whose mode of appearance is acute or chronic. Both forms are dysimmune. Their treatments are based on immunomodulation or immunosuppression for chronic forms. The sequence of assessment and therapeutic methods are explained in light of recent consensus data. Treatments aim at better analgesia and early intervention through rehabilitation.
