      tuberculosis in an HIV-infected patient.

AB  - An African HIV-infected patient presented with widespread necrotic 
      lymphadenopathy five months after starting combination antiretroviral therapy 
      (cART) and was thought to have disseminated tuberculosis in the context of an 
      immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) on the basis of typical 
      imaging appearances and suggestive appearances from a fine needle aspirate of a 
      nodal mass. The patient deteriorated despite empirical antituberculosis therapy 
      and the correct diagnosis of nodal cryptococcal infection was subsequently 
      established by histological examination of a core biopsy from a lymph node. IRIS 
      should be borne in mind when considering the differential diagnosis in a patient 
      who has recently started cART.
