What does IRS stand for?

However, HAART has led to a number of complications not previously seen in HIV medicine, and including immune reconstitution syndrome (IRIS) [2].

This is particularly due to the risk of immune reconstitution syndrome, which could result in clinical worsening of an already critical condition.

Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Drug Interactions: * Table 5--Garlic Capsules * Table 6--HIV Protease Inhibitor ** Tipranavir/ritonavir; * Antifungal ** Ketoconazole ** Intraconazole * Inhaled/Nasal Steroid ** Fluticasone * Antidepressant ** Trazodone * Proton Pump Inhibitors Omeprazole ADVERSE REACTIONS Initial Statement: Invirase must be used in combination with ritonavir, which significantly inhibits saquinavir's metabolism to provide increased plasma saquinavir levels.
