title = "Patterns of peripheral neuropathy in ART-na{\"i}ve patients initiating modern ART regimen",
abstract = "The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations of pre-ART CD4 with peripheral neuropathy (PN) and estimate the prevalence of PN in HIV-positive patients starting modern combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) regimens. ART-na{\"i}ve subjects initiating cART were followed longitudinally and screened for signs/symptoms of PN. Lower pre-ART CD4 count was associated with post-ART PN. After 7 years (n = 117), the prevalence (95 % CI) of PN and SPN were 31 % (23, 40 %) and 5 % (2, 11 %) with pre-ART CD4 count >250 copies/μL. PN continues to be identified in HIV-infected individuals on modern cART by targeted assessment but is generally without symptoms.",
