Isoniazid causing pleural effusion
Singh, SK; Ahmad, Z; Pandey, DK; Gupta, V & Naaz, S
Abstract
Isoniazid (INH) is a first-line antitubercular drug. We report a case of a patient who developed a pleural effusion 2 months after starting antitubercular treatment for spinal tuberculosis. Isoniazid was found to be the culprit and its discontinuation caused subsidence of the effusion.
Keywords
