This study of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients coinfected with Cryptococcus neoformans found that 30% of patients who initiated highly active antiretroviral therapy developed immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). Patients with C. neoformans-related IRIS had higher cerebrospinal fluid opening pressures, glucose levels, and white blood cell counts, compared with patients with typical HIV-associated C. neoformans meningitis.
