Article Synopsis
- - Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune condition that typically follows an infection, leading to muscle weakness and possible paralysis, with a yearly incidence of 1 to 2 per 100,000 people. The most common form is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP).
- - The study focused on four cases of patients who had pulmonary tuberculosis alongside GBS, emphasizing the need for careful diagnosis using specific criteria and ruling out other diseases through various tests such as MRIs and serological markers.
- - Among the four patients studied, three were male and one female, all showing symptoms like weight loss, cough, and progressive limb weakness, with spinal fluid analysis confirming the typical signs

Neuromuscular disorders are common in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); they occur at all stages of disease and affect all parts of the peripheral nervous system. These disorders have diverse etiologies including HIV itself, immune suppression and dysregulation, comorbid illnesses and infections, and side effects of medications. In this article, we review the following HIV-associated conditions: distal symmetric polyneuropathy; inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy; mononeuropathy; mononeuropathy multiplex; autonomic neuropathy; progressive polyradiculopathy due to cytomegalovirus; herpes zoster; myopathy; and other, rarer disorders.

- Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is the most prevalent type, often appearing in later stages of infection with symptoms like pain, numbness, and paresthesia.
- Other neuropathies associated with HIV-1 include acute and chronic inflammatory demyelinating conditions, progressive polyradiculopathy due to cytomegalovirus, and mononeuropathy multiplex, each having different causes and clinical presentations.
