Topics Covered

• TB-immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a common complication of combined antitubercular and antiretroviral therapy
• The two forms of IRIS: paradoxical and unmasking
• Lack of a diagnostic test for TB-IRIS
• Expansion of Interferon gamma secreting T cells is associated with TB-IRIS
• Multiple cytokines are elevated in TB-IRIS, many of myeloid origin
• Benefits of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in TB-IRIS
• Steroid therapy reduces the levels of IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p40, TNF, Interferon-gamma and CXCL-10 in TB-IRIS patients
• Suppurative necrosis may occur in TB-IRIS, implying a role for neutrophils
• Evidence of a prominent role for myeloid cells in the pathogenesis of TB-IRIS
