Paradoxical TB-IRIS
Patient diagnosed with TB and
started on TB treatment
Improving on TB
treatment then starts ART
Recurrence of TB symptoms and new or recurrent clinical manifestations of TB
(Usually 1-4 weeks after starting ART)
Paradoxical TB-IRIS characteristics
• Incidence 8 – 54% (15.7% in meta-analysis)
• Onset of symptoms: Median 14 days from ART start
• Focal and systemic inflammatory features
– Fever, tachycardia, weight loss
• Hospitalisation in up to 48%
• Median duration 2-3 months
• Mortality infrequent
– Meta-analysis 3.2% (substantially higher if CNS IRIS)

On TB treatment prior to ART
3 weeks on ART
(1 litre drained at pericardiocentesis)
Neurological TB-IRIS
• 12% with paradoxical TB-IRIS have CNS involvement
• Up to 47% of TBM patients starting ART develop IRIS
• Features
– Meningitis
– Tuberculoma/s
– Radiculomyelopathy
• Occurs in patients with or without CNS TB prior to ART
• Outcomes
– 13% mortality and 18% loss to follow-up in one series
– 25% and 75% mortality in other series
– Neurological disability

Hepatic TB-IRIS is characterised by
which of the following?
1. Severe jaundice on clinical examination
2. Elevation in transaminases more then 10 x
upper limit of normal
3. Non-tender hepatomegaly
4. The most prominent LFT abnormality being
elevation of Alk Phos and GGT.
Hepatic TB-IRIS case
•
•
•
•
•
•
4 months treatment for drug-sensitive pericardial TB
Clinically improved, then started ART
3 weeks later presented with fever and hepatomegaly
LFT: Bil 52, CBil 31, Alk Phos 1081, GGT 1468, ALT 82, AST 88
CD4 rise from 64 to 221

Hepatic TB-IRIS vs DILI
Hepatic TB-IRIS
Drug-induced liver injury
• RUQ pain, nausea and
vomiting
• Tender hepatomegaly
• Cholestatic LFT derangement
• +/- mild jaundice
• Usually other TB-IRIS
manifestations
•
•
•
•
Similar symptoms
Typically not hepatomegaly
Transaminitis +/- jaundice
Absence of other TB-IRIS
features
Patients may present with
clinical picture between these two
- Biopsy or treat as DILI
Two conditions may co-exist
Prolonged TB-IRIS
• Typically suppurative
lymphadenitis & abscesses
• Systemically well
• Tuberculomas & cerebral
abscesses
• TB-IRIS duration (n = 176)
– Median: 70 days
– IQR: 41-111 days
– IRIS > 90 days: 36%
Bana, unpublished
Prolonged TB-IRIS: Management
•
•
•
•
Often repeated aspirations required
Avoid surgical drainage
Repeat TB culture and susceptibility testing
Corticosteroids for > 4 months questionable
unless CNS involved
• Experimental therapies
– Thalidomide and TNF-α blockers
• Consider prolonging TB treatment
– How adequate is drug penetration?

Diagnosis of TB confirmed or very likely?
Improvement on TB treatment prior to ART?
Symptom onset typically 1-4 weeks on ART
Deterioration with inflammatory features of TB
Consider and exclude differential diagnoses
Exclude drug-resistant TB
There is no confirmatory diagnostic test

case definition
KEY FINDING
Undiagnosed
rifampicin resistance in
10.1% of patients
(95% CI 3.9-16.4%)
presenting with TBIRIS, after exclusion of
known rifampicin
resistance and
alternative
opportunistic diseases
Meintjes Clin Infect Dis 2009;48:667
Lymph node enlargement
Differential diagnoses
• Lymphoma
• Kaposi’s
• Castleman’s disease
Consider malignancy particularly
when LN remains firm
• NTM IRIS
• Cryptococcal IRIS
Other important differential diagnoses

Prednisone for TB-IRIS: which statement is correct?
1. Prednisone has been shown to reduce the risk of death
from TB-IRIS
2. Prednisone should be prescribed to prevent TB-IRIS in
high risk patients
3. When prednisone is used to treat TB-IRIS it has been
shown to have modest benefits in terms of reducing
symptoms and duration of hospitalisation
4. It should not be used because of its side effects in HIV
positive patients
• Rationale for steroid trial
– Anecdotal reports of symptomatic response
– Potential risks in patients with advanced HIV
• 110 participants (55 each arm)
• Life-threatening TB-IRIS was an exclusion
• Open-label prednisone at physician discretion if
clinical deterioration/relapse

• Consistent benefit, maximal in first 4 weeks, across a range of
secondary outcome measures

– Karnofsky performance score
– MOS-HIV questionnaire (quality of life assessment)
– Chest radiology score
– C-reactive protein
• 10/55 in prednisone arm relapsed after completing study drug
and required re-initiation of prednisone

CASE: 49 year old HIV+ man with CD4=29, diagnosed with drugsusceptible PTB. Started ART 2 weeks after TB treatment. 2 weeks later
developed recurrent TB symptoms, worsening of pulmonary infiltrate and
new pleural effusion.
MANAGEMENT: Antibiotic, aspiration of pleural effusion, prednisone. TB
cultures of sputum and effusion were negative at TB-IRIS.
Needle aspiration
Major TB-IRIS risk factors
• Low CD4 count
• Short interval between TB treatment and
ART
• Disseminated TB

Implications
• In patients with CD4 < 50: start ART at 2 weeks
– Even though more likely to develop IRIS with early ART
– Benefit most from early ART in terms of survival and
preventing AIDS events
• In patients with CD4 > 50
– ART can be deferred ~ 8 weeks to reduce risk of IRIS
– Except patients with severe clinical disease, organ
system dysfunction, low performance score, low BMI or
Hb as these are associated with higher mortality
