Introduction
We studied the evolution of sensory neuropathy after antiretroviral therapy (ART) in human immunodeficiency virus–infected South Africans.
Methods
Enrolment commenced before ART with 6‐monthly follow‐ups for 24 months. Symptomatic distal sensory polyneuropathy (SDSP) was defined as one symptom and sign. Symptom/sign scores were compared between visits.
Results
We enrolled 184 participants...
