Obsessive-compulsive Neurosis following Isoniazid Therapy

چکیده
Apart from the illness per se, the antiTB drugs are also known to cause wide ranging psychiatric disorders. Isoniazid, ethionamide and cycloserine are known to cause psychiatric side-effects (Paterson, 1980). Psychotic reactions were frequently reported and were attributed commonly to isonizaid (Pleasure, H, 1954; Wiedorn and Erwin 1954). The psychotic manifestations were those of depressive, manic and paranoid psychoses (Yoshikawa and Fujita, 1982). Neurotic cases were those of anxiety, depression and hysteria. However, no report of obsessional symptoms due to isoniazid is noticed in the available literature.
