HIV-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/647697202

Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) results from pathological immune responses occurring during immune reconstitution and is strongly associated with antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection and AIDS. There is a wide range of clinical manifestations, incorporating disease resulting from a pathological inflammatory reaction to pathogens such as tuberculosis and cryptococcosis, immune-mediated inflammatory disease and autoimmune disease. Clinical effects range from a mild, self-limiting illness to severe morbidity and mortality.
