ABSTRACT
@#We present a rare case of post-antiretroviral therapy (ART) paradoxically worsening of radiological findings in a patient with advanced HIV-infection on treatment for Rhodococcus pneumonia who was misdiagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. Despite clinical improvement, serial chest radiographs showed deteriorations a month after starting ART. This was attributed to Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) which spontaneously resolved without any treatment.
