Twelve cases of infranuclear facial nerve palsy associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus in the heterosexual African are reported with clinical and immunological studies. Eight cases were healthy HIV carriers, three patients manifested AIDS-related complex and one case fulfilled the CDC criteria for AIDS. Nine patients had a typical Bell's palsy, two presented cephalic Herpes zoster infection with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and one, who suffered from progressive facial weakness, could be considered as having a cephalic form of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

PIP: 12 cases of peripheral facial nerve palsy in African patients attending the Centre National Hospitalier Universitaire de Bangui, Central African Republic, with HIV infections are described with clinical and serological findings. All sera were tested with ELISA and confirmed with Western blot for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 (ELAVIA 1, ELAVIA 2, LAV BLOT I, LAV BLOT II, Diagnostics Pasteur). All 12 were HIV-1 positive and HIV-2 negative. Clinically, 1 patient met the clinical definition of AIDS, 3 had AIDS-related complex, and 8 had been previously health. In 11 cases, facial nerve palsy was the 1st presenting syndrome of HIV infection. ONset was acute in all, and associated with flu-like symptoms in 7. The palsy resembled Bell's palsy in 9, but was associated with unilateral vesicular eruptions suggestive of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, or varicella-zoster, in 2 cases. In 1 19-year old woman complete facial paralysis with peri-oral numbness and paresthesia of the cheek developed in 1 hour. All recovered in 2 weeks to 3 months. The T4 lymphocyte counts averaged 764 in the healthy patients and 373 in the ARC and AIDS patients, compared to 1949 in controls. T4/T8 ratios averaged 0.66 and 0.45 in these groups compared to 1.32 in controls. 4 other cases of facial palsy in persons testing negative for HIV are also described. Speculative explanations for the pathophysiology of these palsies were offered: local infection of the facial nerve or ganglion by HIV, inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy, or secondary infection, due to immunosuppression, by agents such as Herpes zoster.
