Cryptococcal IRIS: Pathogenesis & Pearls for Clinical Management David R. Boulware MD, MPH, CTropMed Distinguished Assistant Professor Infectious Diseases & International Medicine Department of Medicine University of Minnesota
What is IRIS? Two Clinical Scenarios • “Unmasking” IRIS (new, subclinical OI) • Subclinical infection with detectable +CRAG • Preventable by pre-ART CRAG screening • “Paradoxical” IRIS (paradoxical reactions) • Haddow. Lancet Infect Dis. 2010;10:791–802.
Theoretical Model of IRIS • Pre-ART Phase (at time of OI) • Pre-IRIS Phase (on ART) • IRIS Event Boulware DR, et al . PLoS Med 2010; e1000384.
Theoretical Model of IRIS • Pre-ART Phase • Lack of inflammation, or inappropriate (Th2) • Poor antigen clearance / immune control • TB-LAM, HBV viral load, CrAg, Drug Resistance • Pre-IRIS Phase • Increasing signaling related to antigen burden • IL-6 => CRP • IRIS Event • Generalized cytokine storm (Th1, Th17, gen) Boulware DR, et al . PLoS Med 2010; e1000384.

Theoretical Model of IRIS • Pre-ART Phase • Lack of inflammation, or inappropriate (Th2) • Poor antigen clearance / immune control • TB-LAM, HBV viral load, CrAg, Drug Resistance • Pre-IRIS Phase • Increasing signaling related to antigen burden • IL-6 => CRP => d-dimer • IRIS Event • Generalized cytokine storm (Th1, Th17, gen) Boulware DR, et al .
