Abstract

We report a case of tuberculous myeloradiculitis in a patient with AIDS. The case highlights the difficulty in reaching a diagnosis for the neurological symptoms of a patient with a normal CSF examination and the need for HIV screening of immune‐compromised patients with myeloradiculitis.
