TI  - Exuberant molluscum contagiosum as a manifestation of the immune reconstitution 
      inflammatory syndrome.
PG  - 6
AB  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a recently described entity 
      in which severely immunodepressed HIV patients, after being started on HAART, 
      develop inflammatory reactions to several pathogens. We present a patient who 
      developed extensive Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) lesions shortly after being 
      started on HAART. With the progression of immunoreconstitution, the lesions 
      healed spontaneously. Molluscum contagiosum lesions are presumably common in IRIS 
      but underreported. We point out this case for its striking clinical picture and 
      well-documented relation to immunoreconstitution to draw attention to this IRIS 
      manifestation.
