We herein report the case of 41-year-old homosexual man who presented to our hospital with typical acute retroviral syndrome. Complications of bilateral facial nerve palsy and appendicitis appeared eight days after admission. The bilateral facial nerve palsy spontaneously recovered one month later; however, the appendicitis required surgical intervention. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of appendicitis related to acute retroviral syndrome.
