The modern day masquerader: a rare case of acute HIV infection with neurologic complications and a review of the literature.

Our case demonstrates a rare presentation of acute HIV infection (AHI) with myoclonus, rhabdomyolysis, and aseptic meningitis. It is imperative for primary care physicians to consider AHI. In this patient, laboratory findings demonstrated infection three to four months before presentation. The diagnosis of AHI is critical for early intervention and for decreasing transmission. We review the CNS manifestations of AHI, the laboratory stages of AHI, and discuss treatment options.
