A case of immunocompetent tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome treated with a novel strategy-zipper method plasma exchange In view of the worsening of TB-related symptoms and radiologic findings at new locations during anti-TB treatment, the possibility of TB-IRIS was considered.
