INFECTIOUS DISEASES(A)
A1.
Dysphagia associated
with cough after eating due to entry of food and liquids into trachae is the
common presentation of tracheo oesophagal fistula(TOF)
In adults TOF is generally seen with malignancies of mediastinum but this patient has a positive history of TB which can be the cause of TOF in this patient(due to erosion)
A2.
IRIS can be prevented by initiating the ART before the
development of advanced Immunosuppression i.e starting the therapy before CD4
cell count decreases more
This patient has CD4
count of 420 when ART is initiated .So this patient has very less chances of
developing IRIS.
