Tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) in HIV-infected patients is the sign and symptom of exacerbation, or radiological manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, can describe the improvement of the immune system after initiating highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). No approved or explicit symptomatic tests for TB-IRIS exist, the diagnosis depends on the clinical manifestations. Here we report a TB-IRIS case with diagnostic challenges.
