Background

  • Two main forms:
    • Unmasking: an underlying, previously undiagnosed infection becomes clinically apparent following immune reconstitution
    • Paradoxical: a diagnosed and treated infection worsens following immune reconstitution

Risk Factors

  • High viral load
  • Low CD4 count
