 AB    At least 4 distinct peripheral neuropathy syndromes occur in patients
       infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The most common, painful
       sensory neuropathy, may be related to the viral infection or may be
       medication induced and is treated symptomatically. The other 3, chronic
       inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, mononeuropathy
       multiplex (some patients), and the progressive polyradiculopathies
       related to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, may all respond to
       appropriate therapy. Both inflammatory myopathy and zidovudine myopathy
       also abate with early diagnosis and treatment.
