Cryptococcosis is the most common cause of meningitis in Africa due to the high burden of HIV. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a frequent and deadly complication of cryptococcal meningitis. We report a fatal case of cryptococcal-IRIS in a pregnant woman that began after starting antiretroviral therapy (unmasking IRIS) and markedly worsened postpartum after delivery (paradoxical IRIS).
由于艾滋病病毒负担沉重,隐球菌病是非洲脑膜炎最常见的病因。免疫重建炎症综合征(IRIS)是隐球菌性脑膜炎常见且致命的并发症。我们报告一例孕妇隐球菌性IRIS致死病例,该病例在开始抗逆转录病毒治疗后发病(暴露型IRIS),产后病情显著恶化(矛盾型IRIS)。
