TI  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome in CNS tuberculosis.
PG  - 668-70
AB  - BACKGROUND: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS), an exaggerated 
      inflammatory response with clinical worsening due to immune recovery during 
      treatment, is rare in the immune-competent population. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A 
      5-(1/2)-year old immune-competent girl with CNS tuberculosis without HIV who 
      developed paradoxical IRIS. OUTCOME: Response to supportive care along with 
      Anti-tuberculosis treatment. MESSAGE: IRIS can occur in tuberculosis, even in the 
      immuno-competent.
