Autonomic neuropathy in patients with HIV: course, impact of disease stage, and medication.
Clinical Autonomic Research : Official Journal of the Clinical Autonomic Research Society 2000 Februrary
The purpose of this article is to examine the prevalence, degree, and natural course of pupillary neuropathy (PANP), cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CANP), and sensorimotor neuropathy (SNP) and to study the impact of disease stage and medication on neuropathy in 61 consecutive patients with HIV. PANP, CANP, and SNP were assessed by standardized test procedures. Overall prevalence of PANP, CANP, and SNP were 66%, 15%, and 15%, respectively. The maximal pupillary area (pupillary measure, p <0.0001) and the lying-to-standing ratio (cardiovascular measure, p <0.0001) were abnormal as compared with control subjects. The changes in CD4+ T-lymphocytes and respiratory sinus arrhythmia percentile during 2 years of follow-up correlated significantly (r = 0.758, p = 0.007). Patients with CANP were more often in an advanced disease stage than patients without CANP (p = 0.004). SNP, but not PANP or CANP, was associated with the intake of the neuropathogenic drugs dideoxycytidine, dideoxyinosine, and 2',3' didehydro-2',3' dideoxythymidine (p <0.05). Autonomic and sensorimotor neuropathy are frequent in patients with HIV, and progression of CANP may put patients at risk for unexpected cardiorespiratory arrest.
