Abstract Patients with primary immunodeficiencies undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for difficult-to-control infections can experience immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) following engraftment. In 3 patients with post-HCT IRIS related to mycobacterial infection, in vitro data demonstrate the emergence of pathogen-specific immune responses and a concomitant rise in plasma inflammatory markers.
