AB  - Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) occurs as an acute symptomatic 
      expression of a latent infection during the recovery of immune system in response 
      to antiretroviral therapy in HIV patients. IRIS triggers both opportunistic and 
      non-opportunistic infections. We report a case of IRIS in a patient with HIV, 
      presenting as erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL), which led to unmasking of 
      lepromatous leprosy following anti-retroviral therapy (ART).
