In the combination antiretroviral era, there are limited data regarding the pathogenesis of histoplasmosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) in people with HIV. We immunologically characterized ten cases of histoplasmosis, four of whom developed histoplasmosis IRIS. CD4+ T-cells in histoplasmosis IRIS demonstrated a significant polyfunctional cytokine response to histoplasma antigen.
