title: CAVITATION OF THE GHON FOCUS IN AN HIV-INFECTED INFANT WHO ACQUIRED TUBERCULOSIS AFTER THE INITIATION OF HAART.
abstract: Tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) may present as new or worsening cavitation. We present an HIV-infected infant in whom TB infection and subsequent cavitation of the Ghon focus appeared to coincide with immune reconstitution due to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). TB-IRIS in response to infection that occurs after starting HAART has not previously been described.
