Autonomic nervous system involvement in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection

Department of Neurology, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO (Dr. Cohen)
Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO (Dr. Laudenslager).

We used an autonomic nervous system (ANS) testing battery to determine whether ANS dysfunction occurred in HIV infection. Five of 10 seropositive (HIV+) patients had ANS involvement affecting both the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions. All 5 involved patients were in Group IV of the CDC classification.
