 AB    Although neither sarcoidosis nor HIV infection is rare, only eight
       patients with both diseases have been described. None of the eight had
       sarcoid myopathy. We describe a patient who had HIV infection and
       decreased CD4+ T-lymphocytes as well as sarcoidosis with muscle
       involvement. During 3 years of observation, primary sarcoidosis remitted
       and myopathic symptoms were controlled with prednisone. No opportunistic
       infections occurred during more than 3 years of prednisone therapy.
