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
Microbiology
- Mycobacteria
- Fungi
- Viruses
Risk Factors
- High viral load
- Low CD4 count
Clinical Manifestations
- Varies by underlying infection
- Onset usually a month following starting antiretrovirals, but can be up to a year
