Other retroviruses (eg, human T-lymphotropic virus type I) have been reported to be associated with inflammatory arthropathies, so it is not surprising that a number of rheumatologic manifestations have been described in HIV-infected persons (Table 51–1). These include various arthropathies, muscle diseases, bone disorders, symptoms and signs mimicking Sjögren syndrome, and systemic vasculitis. For some of these disorders, a clear pathophysiologic association with HIV has been established. For others, true relationships remain speculative. Geographic predisposition among HIV-infected persons to certain rheumatologic conditions is suggested by a number of studies.
