AB  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in the setting of 
      antiretroviral therapy is well described, but it is not as common in non-HIV 
      patients; here, we present a case of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome 
      presenting as acute respiratory distress syndrome in a leukemia patient who had 
      neutropenic fever and septic shock after high-dose cytarabine. During neutropenia 
      recovery, his chest X-ray showed progressive worsening despite being on adequate 
      therapy, we started him on steroids which resulted in significant clinical 
      improvement.
