| description | Tuberculosis (TB) affects onethird
of the world’s population. Anti-TB drugs
with isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide are
very effective but they can cause hepatotoxicity.
Many risk factors have been recognised. Data on
prevalence of anti-TB drug-induced hepatitis as
well as the contributing risk factors are scarce in
Malaysia. This observational case control study
was designed to look at the prevalence and the
risk factors of drug-induced hepatitis in our
population.
