Abstract
Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is a rare disease characterized by single or multiple benign lung nodules mimicking lung neoplasma. Histologic analysis reveals homogenous hyaline lamellae, usually surrounded by collection of plasma cells, lymphocytes and histiocytes in a perivascular distribution. The clinical and radiological findings have been described in small series, but the long-term outcomes have rarely been reported. The objectives were to describe the clinical, radiological and outcomes of PHG in new cases and through a literature review. Patients with PHG were found by a multicenter search among French departments of internal medicine, pulmonology and anatomo-pathology. Review of the literature was made through the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE database using keywords "hyalinizing granuloma." Five news cases and 135 cases of the literature were found. There were 82 men and 57 women, mean age at the diagnosis 44.6 years (15-83). Patients were frequently asymptomatic (n = 39, 27.4 %). The nodule was unique in 37 cases (28.9 %) and multiple in 91 cases (71.1 %). 18FDG PET scan revealed hypermetabolism of the nodule in 9/15 cases (60 %). A systemic disease was associated in 65 cases (mainly mediastinal and retroperitoneal fibrosis, autoimmune, tumoral or infectious disease or thromboembolism). The outcomes were evaluated in 73 patients when follow-up was available: 14 patients had a surgical resection of the nodule. Forty-five patients did not receive any immunosuppressive drug. Among these patients, 2 improved, 29 were stable and 14 worsened. Corticosteroids were used as a monotherapy in 19 patients and led to radiological improvement in 8 cases, stabilization in 8 cases and worsening in 3 cases. Five patients were treated with corticosteroids and at least one immunosuppressive drug and 4 patients improved. PHG is a rare benign disease, mimicking lung neoplasma, frequently associated with systemic diseases.

Abstract
Since the arrival of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), immune reconstitution syndrome (IRS) has become an increasingly more frequent complication in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This article presents a review of the available evidence on this subject, indexed in MEDLINE-PUBMED, BVS-BIREME, and BioMed Central. The review covers the definition, epidemiology, classification, and diagnostic criteria related to IRS. In addition, the clinical particularities of the most frequent etiologies are described, and a proposal for a therapeutic approach is formulated. The prognosis and future implications of this syndrome in the epidemiology of some infectious illnesses in the HIV-positive population are included. Several unresolved aspects are mentioned, such as those related to the pathophysiology of the condition, use of biomarkers for the diagnosis, and the need for evidence-based therapeutic algorithms to enable standardization of treatment for these patients.
