Summary: | •Plasma signatures of TB immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) can be identified.•Arachidonic acid and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways were perturbed in TBIRIS group.•Metabolic profiling has the potential as a new tool for early diagnosis of TB-IRIS.
Diagnosis of paradoxical tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS) is challenging and new tools are needed for early diagnosis as well as to understand the biochemical events that underlie the pathology in TB-IRIS.
Plasma samples were obtained from participants from a randomized HIV/TB treatment strategy study (AIDS Clinical Trials Group [ACTG] A5221) with (n = 26) and without TB-IRIS (n = 22) for an untargeted metabolomics pilot study by liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry. The metabolic profile of these participants was compared at the study entry and as close to the diagnosis of TB-IRIS as possible (TB-IRIS window). Molecular features with p |
