OBJECTIVE: To report two cases of an axonal motor polyradiculoneuropathy associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection in otherwise asymptomatic subjects. DESIGN: Case series. SETTING: Tertiary care hospital neurology inpatient service. RESULTS: Electrophysiologic testing showed acute denervation with almost normal sensory potentials and no evidence of demyelination. CONCLUSIONS: These cases present an example of an acute axonal polyradiculoneuropathy in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
