Cryptococcal Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome following Alemtuzumab Therapy [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2007 Alemtuzumab is a lymphocyte ablative agent that may cause susceptibility to severe opportunistic infections similar to those seen in AIDS. Pathogen-specific immune reconstitution syndromes can complicate antiretroviral therapy and immune recovery in HIV-infected patients.

Immunopathogenesis of immune reconstitution disease in HIV patients responding to antiretroviral therapy [PDF]
Current Opinion in HIV and AIDS, 2008 The aim of this article is to review the most recent literature regarding the immunopathogenesis of pathogen-associated immune reconstitution disease and to discuss the role of immune activation and various effector molecules and cells such as macrophages, effector and regulatory T cells, and natural killer cells in immune reconstitution disease.Many ...
