Neuroimaging Features of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome in a Patient with AIDS Successfully Treated for Neurocryptococcosis

الملخص EN

The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has significantly reduced the incidence and progression of HIV-associated cryptococcosis.

However, an early complication of HAART is the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), which may affect the CNS.

The authors report a patient successfully treated for cryptococcosis and HIV who presented a late manifestation of IRIS.

Neuroimaging aspects and management of CNS-IRIS in this patient are discussed in this paper.
