Abstract
Immune reconstitution disease (IRD) has been associated with many pathogens after the initiation of antiretroviral therapy for advanced HIV infection. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to determine whether cutaneous mycoses were also associated with IRD. After adjusting for various confounding factors, the recent initiation of HAART was found to be associated with an increased incidence of cutaneous mycoses when compared with untreated patients.
