We report on the NIR brightening of the low redshift QSO PKS2233-148 (z=0.325). 0n October 29th,2018 MJD(2458420.68199), we found the source with NIR flux H = 13.209 +/- 0.06, while on MJD 2458069 the flux in the H band corresponded to H = 14.866 +/- 0.03. Hence, the source has increased its flux by a factor of 4.6 in this lapse. Our observations are carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multiwavelength coverage.
