ABSTRACT
A 35-year-old Kenian lady with advanced immunodeficiency due to HIV infection started on an antiretroviral therapy. Five months later, a severe colitis was diagnosed, however, no causal pathogen could be found. In order to avoid imminent perforation, a hemicolectomy became necessary, and immediately the symptoms and inflammation markers normalized rapidly. M. tuberculosis could be proven in culture in a draining abdominal lymph node. We assume that the severe inflammation was caused by an immune restoration inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Essentials in diagnosis, pathogenesis and therapy of IRIS are discussed.
