Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic has disproportionately affected tropical regions of the world, where dermatoses, such as leprosy and leishmaniasis, rarely encountered in temperate climates, are endemic. Although the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has been lifesaving, a few patients undergoing HAART experience clinical deterioration caused by immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). This article explores the range of tropical dermatoses that are reported to date with associated IRIS events.
