TI  - Cellulitis revealing a cryptococcosis-related immune reconstitution inflammatory 
      syndrome in a renal allograft recipient.
PG  - 2826-8
AB  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) has rarely been described in 
      the course of disseminated cryptococcosis in solid organ transplant recipients. 
      We report here the case of a renal transplant recipient who developed severe 
      cellulitis in the context of Cryptococcus neoformans-associated IRIS while 
      undergoing reduction of his immunosuppressive therapy. IRIS appeared 
      concomitantly with a dramatic increase of blood CD4+ T cells (94-460/mm(3)) and 
      required the administration of a short-term steroid therapy to resolve.
