The authors recall, through an observation, the rare nature of immune restoration
neuroinflammatory syndromes (IRIS) of the immunocompromised patient, and report the case of a
31-year-old patient admitted to medical intensive care for hypoxemic-serious pneumonia. The
etiology was a pulmonary cryptococcosis indicative of HIV infection at the AIDS stage and
effectively treated with a combination of antifungals. The initiation of HAART has been very
virologically effective with viral load collapse and improved CD4 cell counts. The evolution was
marked by the occurrence of a neuro-IRIS associated with a rapidly fatal cancerous toxoplasmosis.
