| Abstrakt: | Cryptococcal immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (C-IRIS) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 infection manifests as a clinical worsening or new presentation of cryptococcal disease after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). C-IRIS involving the respiratory system has been scarcely reported. Here, we report a case of pulmonary C-IRIS in a person living with HIV after initiating ART, characterized by an exacerbation of a pulmonary nodule and new occurrence of pleural effusions, which responded well to corticosteroid treatment.
