Introduction: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome occurs due to a rapid dysregulated recovery of the immune system after the start of antiretroviral therapy in some patients, which is most associated with tuberculosis. This can be paradoxical (worsening of a pre-existing disease under treatment) or unmasking (after the start of antiretroviral therapy). Few studies have evaluated the risk factors for the development of this syndrome in its unmasking form. Objective: To determine if the CD4 cells/microL count and other covariates are associated with the development of unmasking tuberculosis-associated IRIS in patients starting antiretroviral therapy in a Peruvian hospital. Materials and methods: Nested case control study, based on clinical records of patients treated in the infectious diseases service of a public hospital in Lima, Perú during the years 2007-2018. Association was evaluated using bivariate analysis and logistic regression model. Results: In the bivariate analysis, an association was found between unmasking tuberculosis-associated IRIS and the hemoglobin value (p = 0.015), CD4 count ≤100 cells/microL (p = 0.002) and viral load expressed in logarithm of copies/ml (p = 0.033). In the adjusted model, an association was found with the CD4 count ≤100 cells/microL (OR: 4.16, CI: 1.09-15.98, p = 0.038). Discussion: It is important to do an intensive screening for Tuberculosis before starting antiretroviral therapy, especially in countries where there is a high incidence of this disease and be alert to the symptoms they present after starting treatment, especially in those with a CD4 count of ≤100 cells/microL .
