Inflammatory paradoxical reaction occurring in tuberculosis patients treated with HAART and rifampicin.

چکیده
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) during tuberculosis treatment may be followed by a systemic inflammatory and paradoxical reaction with flare of symptoms and lymph node enlargement. This reaction has also been observed in association with the treatment of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection, Cytomegalovirus and other opportunistic infections. This paradoxical response has been attributed to a rapid recovery of the immune system, early during the treatment with HAART, in previously immunosuppressed patients, probably reflecting the redistribution of memory T-lymphocytes.

IRIS is a paradoxical reaction occurring in HIV-infected patient after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Incidence is estimated 12 to 19% of child starting HAART. IRIS with tuberculosis in non-HIV patients has not been reported in the literature. We report the case of an HIV negative 8 years-old girl who did develop IRIS and dilated cardiomyopathy during her treatment ...

BACKGROUND Risk factors for acquired rifampicin resistance (ARR) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/tuberculosis coinfection, in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era, needs evaluation. We studied the impact of HIV and HAART on ARR among patients taking thrice-weekly antituberculosis therapy. METHODS This cross-protocol analysis included patients with newly diagnosed, rifamp...

Background: It has been suggested that deterioration of tuberculosis (TB) during appropriate treatment, termed a paradoxical reaction (PR), is more common and severe in HIV positive individuals on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Method: A study was undertaken to determine the frequency of PR and its associated features in a population of HIV+TB+ patients and a similar sized group ...
