Abstract
Eight patients with tuberculosis were studied before, during and after 9 months treatment with rifampicin and isoniazid to assess the overall effect on vitamin D metabolism. No significant uniform change in either 1,25(OH)2D or 25 OH D nor in any of the other biochemistry measured occurred during the study. It seems unlikely that the combined effects of these drugs causes clinically significant derangement of vitamin D metabolism in patients treated over a 9 month period for tuberculosis.Entities:
