Increased Metabolic Activity on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography in Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome
2019
Background
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) represents an unexpected inflammatory response shortly after initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in some human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected patients with underlying neoplasia or opportunistic infections, including tuberculosis. We hypothesized that IRIS is associated with increased glycolysis and that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET/CT) could help identify high-risk subjects.
