Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Associated with PML in AIDS: A Treatable Disorder
Neurol 67:1692-1694, Martinez,J.V.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
An HIV-1-infected patient with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy presented clinical deterioration and contrast-enhancing lesions on brain nuclear MR after the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Brain biopsy identified an inflammatory reaction compatible with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Treatment with corticosteroids and transient suppression of HAART led to marked neurologic improvement.
