Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome: A Reappraisal

Open access
French, Martyn A.·2009·Clinical Infectious Diseases

Abstract

Individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection who commence antiretroviral therapy when they are very immunodeficient are susceptible to immune reconstitution disorders. The most common disorders are the various forms of immune restoration disease (IRD) that appear to result from the restoration of a dysregulated immune response against pathogen-specific antigens. Essentially, any pathogen that can cause an opportunistic infection as a result of cellular immunodeficiency can provoke IRD when pathogen-specific immune responses recover during antiretroviral therapy. In resource-poor countries, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Cryptococcus neoformans are the most significant pathogens, because the former causes substantial morbidity and the latter causes substantial mortality. IRD associated with these pathogens is characterized by severe inflammatory responses and is often referred to as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Prevention and treatment strategies for IRD are being developed, but preliminary data have demonstrated the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy in severe cases. Immune reconstitution after antiretroviral therapy may also be associated with autoimmune disease or sarcoidosis, both of which appear to have an immunopathogenesis that is different from that of IRD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
