Patients who developedprobable/possible C-IRIS had significantly higher CSF/Blood ratios of CXCR3+/CCR5+CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells pre-cART commencement • CD4+ and CD8+ Tem cells co-expressing CCR5 and CXCR3 are significantly enriched in CSF • Higher CSF/Blood ratios of CXCR3+/CCR5+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells pre-cARTcommencement predict the development of C-IRIS • Inhibitors of CXCR3 or CCR5 should be explored as preventative and therapeutic measures in C-IRIS Correspondence: Martyn.french@uwa.edu.au
