Limbic encephalitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the central nervous system with more involvement of the limbic system anatomical regions. The Chronic Inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the peripheral nerve. Through literature review, it seems that simultaneous involvement by these two diseases in HIV seroconversion is rare. This case study and literature review shows us how is important heterogeneous clinical presentations and early diagnosis in the presented pathologies.
