Abstract
We describe a patient coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and human T lymphotropic virus type 2 in Spain who developed paraparesis resembling human T lymphotropic virus type 1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis shortly after initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy, hypothetically as the result of an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
