Abstract
We studied an AIDS patient who suffered from numbness, paresthesias an d pain in the territories of different non-contiguous cutaneous nerves at different times. A transitory partial loss of touch and pinprick s ensibility was also present in the same cutaneous areas. Sensory condu ction velocities and SAP amplitudes were normal. The clinical picture was consistent with the Migrant Sensory Neuritis of Wartenberg. This r are neuropathy has never previously been described in patients affecte d by AIDS.
