TI  - Unmasking Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS): A report of five 
      cases and review of the literature.
PG  - 95-103
AB  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndromes (IRIS) in patients with acquired 
      immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are characterised by atypical manifestations of 
      opportunistic pathogens. These occur in patients experiencing improvement in CD4 
      cell counts following receipt of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). 
      Although well established as a syndrome, IRIS still presents challenges in 
      diagnosis and management. We report five cases of IRIS with diverse clinical 
      presentations and due to different infectious aetiologies. A review of the 
      published literature on this syndrome is also included.
