Abstract
An 88 year old woman with bacteriologically confirmed pulmonary tuberculosis was first treated with isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide. Two weeks later she developed pulmonary infiltrates with fever. A drug-induced reaction was suspected but the reaction recurred three times until isoniazid was identified as the cause. The reaction became worse each time, finally being nearly fatal.Entities:
