AB  - Patients with HIV and opportunistic infections (OIs), such as tuberculosis and 
      cryptococcosis, have been recognised to have immune reconstitution inflammatory 
      syndrome (IRIS) following initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy 
      (HAART). The initiation of HAART boosts CD4 T cells, which result in 
      exacerbations of OIs. We have identified deterioration of neural lesion in 
      imaging after the initiation of HAART in a patient with HIV/cryptococcal 
      infection, although patient's clinical conditions have not deteriorated. It is 
      evident that IRIS is in subtlety. This has been possible because of prompt 
      treatment with antifungal drugs for the cryptococcal infection, followed by early 
      initiation of HAART.
