TI  - Herpes zoster infection as an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in 
      HIV-seropositive subjects: a review.
PG  - 455-60
AB  - The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in the management of 
      human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has resulted paradoxically in the 
      worsening of clinical symptoms of previously subclinical infections, such as 
      herpes zoster (HZ), herpes simplex, angular cheilitis, warts, tuberculosis, 
      hepatitis B and C, cytomegalovirus retinitis, and others, as a result of 
      substantial reconstitution of the host's immune responses. This phenomenon is 
      referred to as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). It may affect 
      up to 32% of HIV-seropositive subjects within a wide range of time after the 
      initiation of HAART, but mainly after 8-12 weeks. Mucocutaneous HZ accounts for 
      7%-12% of the diseases associated with HIV infection that become worse again when 
      the subject's immunity improves from the administration of HAART. It usually 
      occurs after 4 weeks from the initiation of HAART, and under these circumstances 
      the clinical symptoms and natural course of mucocutaneous HZ are similar to those 
      in HIV-seropositive subjects who do not manifest IRIS.
