Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in a HIV-infected patient with disseminated tuberculosis
Koh, K.C1, Pak, J.W2.
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is the paradoxical worsening of pre-existing
infectious processes after commencement of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in HIV-infected patients.
Its manifestations are dependent on the underlying opportunistic infections. We report a case of an
HIV-infected patient with disseminated tuberculosis, who responded to anti-tuberculosis therapy
but suffered from paradoxical worsening after commencement of ART.
