ABSTRACT
We describe an unusual case of a 25-year-old human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive male with a pre-treatment CD4 count of 144 cells/microL, who had received highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) consisting of lamivudine, stavudine and nevirapine for three months, developing immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) manifesting as disseminated tuberculosis (TB), myelopathy, encephalopathy and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). In addition to HAART and antituberculosis treatment (ATT), the patient was given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral vitamin B12 and heparin, which was later switched to oral warfarin.
