AbstractDrug induced immunosuppression increases the risk of infections, both occurring as reactivation of latent-infections and occurrence of recent opportunistic ones. Thus, a careful mandatory infection screening is needed before immunosuppressive drugs onset. In addition, immune reconstitution after immunosuppression cessation can be associated with acute worsening of the underlying infection leading to the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome that must be differenciated from infection recurrences, relapses or resistance to antiinfective agents.
