AB  - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated thrombocytopenia was commonly 
      encountered in the era prior to the advent of antiretroviral therapy (ART). With 
      the widespread use of ART, its incidence has significantly declined. Immune 
      reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an immune dysregulation phenomenon 
      that reveals itself clinically as paradoxical deterioration after the 
      commencement of ART in HIV infected patients. It has a wide variety of clinical 
      manifestations. However, hematologic involvement is rare. Here, we present a very 
      rare case of IRIS associated thrombocytopenia. With this case we intend to create 
      mindfulness of the possibility of IRIS being one of the explanations for 
      thrombocytopenia.
