چکیده
Background. To determine the overall incidence of hepatotoxicity in children and risk factors such as age, gender, and their outcomes. Methods. Patients who were admitted to the Pediatric Infectious Disease Clinic during the period from December 2009 through August 2013 with the diagnosis of latent TB infection were included in this study. Isoniazid hepatotoxicity was classified according to the of WHO Toxicity Classification Standards. Results. Among 1038 patients, Overall hepatotoxicity was observed in 23 patients (2,2 %), while 5 patients (0,48 %) had moderate-severe hepatotoxicity; while other 18 patients had grade I-II hepatoxicity (1,73%). Age and gender were found to be not risk factors for hepatotoxicity. The median time for therapy rechallenge in patients with grade III-IV hepatotoxicity was 21 days (ranging from 14 to 25 days) and 7 days (ranging from 5 to 21 days) in grade I-II hepatotoxicity and significantly longer 18 in grade III-IV hepatotoxicity (p= 0,02) recovery of hepatotoxicity and restarting of INH therapy and at least 14 days were required for complete recovery of INH hepatotoxicity in children with severe hepatotoxicity. Conclusion. In conclusion, in children, INH hepatotoxicity is lower and generally reversible after ceasation of INH. The grade of hepatotoxicity affects the duration for Disclosures.

The aim of this study was to determine the association of n-acetyltransferase-2 polymorphisms and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity in Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Acetylating phenotypes was studied in 50 Iranian pulmonary tuberculosis patients using metabolic ratio of plasma acetyl-Isoniazid to Isoniazid. The association between hepatotoxicity and the n-acetyltransferas...

Isoniazid (INH) monotherapy has gained widespread acceptance as an efficacious therapy for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) especially in low-prevalence settings. Although INH related hepatotoxicity is well recognized, progression to severe liver dysfunction requiring care at a transplant center remains unpredictable. We report the management of a five year-old girl who developed progressiv...

متن کاملHepatotoxicity associated with isoniazid preventive therapy: a 7-year survey from a public health tuberculosis clinic.
CONTEXT Isoniazid preventive therapy for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection has been debated because of the risk of hepatotoxicity. The frequency of hepatotoxicity was 0.5% to 2.0% in early studies but may have changed with new criteria for diagnosis and patient selection. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of isoniazid hepatotoxicity in patients managed according to current guidelines and pract...
متن کاملAntituberculosis drugs and hepatotoxicity.
Isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin have hepatotoxic potential, and can lead to such reactions during antituberculosis chemotherapy. Most of the hepatotoxic reactions are dose-related; some are, however, caused by drug hypersensitivity. The immunogenetics of antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity, especially inclusive of acetylaor phenotype polymorphism, have been increasingly unravell...
