- Abstract
In non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, tuberculosis (TB) immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is unusual. The management of corticosteroids-refractory IRIS is unclear. We report on infliximab efficacy for treatment of corticosteroid-resistant TB-IRIS occurring in an immunocompetent patient.
