Pulmonary tuberculosis and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome

Discussion:

The patient was diagnosed with HIV and pulmonary TB infection on admission.

Following commencement of antiretroviral therapy (ART), there was a clinical deterioration and worsening of the CXR findings. This correlated with an increase in the patient's CD4 count.

This pattern is consistent with an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).
