    Abstract

    The immune-reconstitution syndrome is a paradoxical inflammatory response to a preexisting or a coexisting disease, after the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy for the human immunodeficiency virus. Infrequently described, the radiographic and computed tomographic findings of the immune-reconstitution syndrome, which is related to the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare infection and to highly active antiretroviral therapy, are presented in 2 patients. Homogeneous mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy were present in both individuals, with one having a large mass accompanied by small nodules.
