PG - 68-72 LID - S1684-1182(11)00270-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jmii.2011.12.033 [doi] AB - Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection involves the central nervous system (CNS) less frequently than tuberculosis, and MAC-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) of the CNS in AIDS patients is even more rarely described. We report a case of MAC-related IRIS of the CNS in an HIV-infected patient who presented with meningoencephalitis and myelitis 2 months after discontinuation of antiMAC therapy, when he had achieved prolonged suppression of HIV replication and restoration of CD4 counts to >100 cells/muL for 1 year. Cases of MAC-related IRIS of the CNS reported in the literature are reviewed. CI - Copyright (c) 2011. Published by Elsevier B.V.
