Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Hyperthyroidism has been described after highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS and has been attributed to late onset immune reconstitution. The team reports a young Polynesian man with AIDS who responded to highly active antiretroviraltherapy. However, 15 months after initiation of antiretroviral therapy, he was hospitalized for hypokalemic thyrotoxic periodic paralysis, an unusual manifestation of hyperthyroidism which typically occurs in young Asian males.
