Prostatic Abscess

Paradoxical tuberculosis – immune reconstitution syndrome (pTB-IRIS) is a well-recognized cause of clinical deterioration in HIV tuberculosis (HIV-TB) co-infected individuals following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Here, we present a rare presentation of pTB-IRIS which manifested as a prostatic abscess in a case of HIV positive patient. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of pTB-IRIS reported in literature which manifested as a prostatic abscess. Paradoxical TB-IRIS manifesting as prostatic abscess is extremely rare and a high index of clinical suspicion is needed to diagnose and appropriately treat it.

HIV infection can lead to varied spectrum of associated disease conditions. Pyoderma gangrenosum is a neutrophilic dermatosis that may be associated with myeloid malignancies. Less information is available about the association of pyoderma gangrenosum with lymphoid malignancies. We report a rare case of pyoderma gangrenosum in association with Non hodgkins lymphoma(NHL) of diffuse large B cell type. In this case the lesion which showed NHL features occurred in the perianal region, coexisting with pyoderma gangrenosum lesions in the perianal, lower limb and abdominal region. Another interesting feature is the occurrence of both these conditions in a HIV-positive patient with severe immunologic failure to first line antiretroviral therapy contributing to the refractoriness to treatment.

Clinical Worsening

We report the case of a 57-year-old Caucasian woman with AIDS-related disseminated Kaposi sarcoma (KS) characterised by the combination of several unusual features. The chylous nature of the pleural effusions, the documented parietal pleural involvement at thoracoscopy and the marked clinical worsening through an immune reconstitution syndrome following antiretroviral therapy initiation represent several rare situations that occurred in the same female patient. In addition, the use of indwelling pleural catheters for dyspnoea palliation also represents a rare therapeutic intervention. This case is a reminder of the possibility of AIDS-related pleural KS, now uncommon in the era of antiretroviral therapy.
