AB  - Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) refers to a collection of 
      inflammatory disorders, predominantly related to infectious processes that 
      manifest after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and can be 
      classified as unmasking or paradoxical. The prevalence of IRIS in children in 
      sub-Saharan Africa is low. Approximately half of all cases are associated with 
      Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It may be difficult to distinguish IRIS from 
      tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections radiologically; therefore, 
      radiological findings must be interpreted with clinical and laboratory findings. 
      In this review article, we describe the clinical and radiological manifestations 
      of IRIS in children and provide illustrative radiological examples.
