Antituberculous Drug-Induced Hepatitis in a Patient With Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Clinical Challenge.
Cureus(2022)
Abstract
Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is highly prevalent in Pakistan, and immunosuppressed individuals (including those on long-term corticosteroid therapy) are at an especially high risk of infection. Owing to the limited number of effective antituberculous drugs, treating resistant cases or patients who develop unfavorable side effects from the first-line agents becomes a daunting task. We discuss a patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) suffering from pulmonary TB who developed drug-induced hepatitis after being started on recommended first-line anti-TB drugs.
