ABSTRACT
The Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after starting antiretroviral therapy for HIV is well known. We describe an HIV seropositive woman, presenting 2 IRIS episodes associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Exceptional was that the last episode occurred 4 years after initiating antiretroviral treatment, when her CD4+ lymphocyte count had been around 300 cells/mm3 for one year.
