Cysticercosis is endemic in most of the developing world and infection with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is becoming more frequent in those endemic areas. There is a risk of development of exacerbations of previously latent infection in a HIV patient following initiation of HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy), termed as Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS). Very few case of NCC as a manifestation in IRIS has been reported. We recommend that NCC as a cause of IRIS need to be considered especially in endemic areas.
