title: Increased incidence of mucosal candidiasis after HAART initiation: a benign form of immune reconstitution disease?
abstract: Immune reconstitution after HAART initiation is often complicated by adverse clinical manifestations caused either by the unmasking of preexisting untreated opportunistic infections or the clinical deterioration of a known and treated opportunistic infection. The present study was conducted to determine whether the initiation of HAART was followed by an increase in the incidence of mucosal candidiases, a possible manifestation of immune reconstitution disease of the unmasking type.
