Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) occurs as an acute symptomatic expression of a latent infection during the recovery of immune system in response to antiretroviral therapy in HIV patients. IRIS triggers both opportunistic and non-opportunistic infections. We report a case of IRIS in a patient with HIV, presenting as erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), which led to unmasking of lepromatous leprosy following anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
免疫重建炎症综合征(IRIS)是HIV患者在接受抗逆转录病毒治疗后免疫系统恢复过程中,潜在感染的一种急性症状表现。IRIS可引发机会性感染和非机会性感染。我们报告一例HIV患者发生IRIS的病例,表现为结节性红斑型麻风(ENL),该病例在抗逆转录病毒治疗(ART)后导致瘤型麻风暴露。
