-During IRIS, HIV/AIDS patients experience the worsening or onset of systemic inflammatory clinical signs and symptoms following treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). This syndrome results when HAART allows for partial recovery of the immune response. This causes renewed and exuberant host immunological responses towards opportunistic infectious agents, agents that the host accumulated during prior periods of immunosuppression.(({{pubmed>long:20507930}}))+During immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, HIV/AIDS patients experience the worsening or onset of systemic inflammatory clinical signs and symptoms following treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

 A number of well-known readily cultured pathogens have been conclusively linked to IRIS: the herpes viruses, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B and C, //M. tuberculosis//, //Mycobacterium avium// complex and //Cryptococcus neoformans//.(({{pubmed>long:17488505}})) However, many more microbes likely contribute to the reaction since AIDS clinicians do not yet have access to the metagenomic tools. Certainly, the existence of IRIS in culture-negative HAART patients suggests that more microbes may be present than the few that have already been isolated.(({{pubmed>long:19365271}})) A number of well-known readily cultured pathogens have been conclusively linked to IRIS: the herpes viruses, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis B and C, //M. tuberculosis//, //Mycobacterium avium// complex and //Cryptococcus neoformans//.(({{pubmed>long:17488505}})) However, many more microbes likely contribute to the reaction since AIDS clinicians do not yet have access to the metagenomic tools.
