Abstract:
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which restores specific immune responses, may paradoxically cause an inflammatory reaction known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). We report a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome, who presented Molluscum contagiosum as IRIS after HAART, the first case in Korea.
