 AB    A 27-year-old man positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
       presented with severe depressive stupor, peripheral neuropathy, and
       myelopathy. The onset of psychiatric symptoms, closely followed by
       neurological symptoms, without other possible somatic etiology suggests
       that HIV itself might precipitate psychosis. The patient was treated
       successfully with electroconvulsive therapy. The advantages and risks
       are discussed.
