Abstract

Immunorestitution disease or immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome was initially described in HIV/AIDS patients under antiretroviral therapy. Although there were a decrease in viral load, control of viral replication and an increase in CD4+ T lymphocyte counts, the appearance of different forms of opportunistic infections and deterioration in their clinical status were observed in these patients. This clinical deterioration is a result of an excessive inflammatory response against previously diagnosed or asymptomatic opportunistic pathogens or undefined antigens. Recently, this syndrome was defined in HIV- negative patients and in other cases such as development of paradoxical response during antituberculosis therapy. In this report we present a case with postpartum tuberculosis from the perspective of immunorestitution disease
