| Claster you obviously don't have a clue about "Immune Reconstitution
Disease" so I suggest you look it up and then you might stop making such a
fool out of yourself. A simple PUBMED search or a search in Google might
show you were you've got it wrong.
Here is a reference with just three authors so I guess it meets your author
cound test that might help you at least sound like you know what your
talking about.
Immune Reconstitution Disease Is Associated with Mycobacterial Infections in
HIV Patients Receiving Antiretrovirals
Immune reconstitution disease (IRD) in HIV-infected patients is an adverse
consequence of the restoration of pathogen-specific immune responses during
the initial months of HAART.
Previously subclinical infections are "unmasked" or pre-existing
opportunistic infections clinically deteriorate as host immunopathological
inflammatory responses are "switched on".
IRD is most frequently associated with mycobacterial infections. A
literature search identified 166 published cases of IRD associated with
mycobacterial infections.
In the current study, researchers review the underlying immunological
mechanisms, difficulties surrounding case definition and diagnosis, the wide
diversity of clinical manifestations, and treatment.
The importance of screening patients for mycobacterial disease before
starting HAART and the critical impact of the timing of commencement of
HAART in patients receiving treatment for tuberculosis are highlighted.
The authors also discuss the problem of IRD associated with mycobacterial
diseases in developing countries where tuberculosis prevalence is high and
access to HAART is currently expanding.
