Immune reconstitution syndrome following initiation of antiretroviral therapy in a patient with HIV infection and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The Indian Journal of Chest Diseases & Allied Sciences. 2005 Oct-Dec; 47(4): 299-304http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/29336Paradoxical exacerbation of the signs and symptoms of tuberculosis may occur not only after antituberculosis therapy, but also soon after the initiation of a potent combination of antiretroviral drugs in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serpositive patients with tuberculosis.
