摘要
A new entity that comprises symptomatic worsening of an infectious or inflammatory process despite appropriate treatment was described a few years ago in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy. This entity was defined as immune reconstitution syndrome, and it is believed to result from an intense inflammatory reaction in patients with an appropriately treated infection who recover immunological status. Recently, immune reconstitution syndrome has also been described in transplant recipients, although information is scarce because of its low incidence. Here we describe a new case of immune reconstitution syndrome in a liver transplant recipient after successful treatment of cryptococcal meningitis. Liver Transpl 14:1671-1674, 2008. (C) 2008 AASLD.
