A homosexual man, seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus, developed back and
leg pain
that evolved, over three weeks, into a T-10 anesthetic, areflexic paraplegia. Spinal fluid examination showed lymphocytosis, markedly elevated spinal fluid protein, and hypoglycorrhachia. A spinal cord biopsy specimen disclosed an intramedullary granuloma containing acid-fast bacilli. The patient was treated with antituberculous drugs and had no progression of neurologic deficit. He died, eight months after first becoming ill, of Klebsiella
pyelonephritis
and septicemia. Mycobacterial meningomyelitis is presently the only known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related myelopathy responsive to specific treatment.
