Initial description of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome involving the thyroid gland in an immunocompromised patient. Case Reports, 2011, bcr0420114053. doi:10.1136/bcr.04.2011.405310.1136/bcr.04.2011.4053https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/3080Thyroid gland abscess formation is a rare occurrence owing to its inherent resistance to infections. 1 It also presents both medical and surgical dilemmas. The case we present in this report is an immune reconstitution infl ammatory syndrome (IRIS) presenting in form of a tuberculous abscess of the thyroid gland. To the best of our knowledge; this is the fi rst reported case of a paradoxical tuberculous thyroid abscess IRIS in an immunocompromised patient.enImmune reconstitution inflammatory syndromeThyroid glandImmunocompromised patientArticle
