PG - 102368 LID - S1413-8670(22)00056-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bjid.2022.102368 [doi] LID - 102368 AB - A 34-year-old man presented with a history of 21-days of gait unsteadiness and diplopia. Ten days before presentation, he developed limb weakness and in the last three days reduced consciousness. HIV infection was diagnosed three months ago (CD4+ = 160 cells/mm(3); viral load HIV-1 = 144.000 copies/mL), and antiretroviral therapy was initiated. Impaired consciousness, ophthalmoplegia, limb weakness, ataxia, areflexia, and Babinsky s sign were noted. At that moment, CD4+ count was 372 cells/mm 3 and viral load HIV-1 <50 copies/mL. The clinical, laboratory and neurophysiological findings suggest overlapping Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis as manifestation of HIV-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Here, we review and discuss 7 cases (including the present report) of GBS spectrum as manifestation of HIV-related IRIS. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Sociedade Brasileira de Infectologia.
