Article Synopsis
- Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) can occur after starting antiretroviral treatment for HIV and can have serious consequences if not diagnosed and treated quickly.
- A case study reported a 21-year-old man with HIV and pneumonia who developed worsening symptoms shortly after beginning treatment, leading to a diagnosis of IRIS via a minimally invasive procedure.
- Radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided lung biopsy is highlighted as an effective method for the prompt identification of pneumonia associated with IRIS.
