The influence of the HIV virus on the central nervous system tracts has been definitively shown. Over the past year we have affected otoneurologic tests based on elicited auditive potentials and tests of oculomotility on a total of 30 patients affected by stages II and III of the disease. The results show that around 27 percent of cases present alterations in the provoked auditory potentials and 20 percent in the oculomotility tests. The results are compared with those of previous studies.
