[Immune restoration syndrome].
A new syndrome, "immune restoration syndrome", has been described among patients with CMV retinitis, mycobacterial infections or cryptococcosis when HAART is initiated. The mechanism is most likely an enhanced immunologic reaction at the site of infection due to an improved T-lymphocyte function. The syndrome appears to be a rare event: the authors report a case of immune restoration syndrome in a patient with atypical mycobacteriosis.
