Abstract

Ethambutol hydrochloride is one of the routinely used drugs as the first line of antitubercular drugs. Ocular toxicity is dose related. Presence of risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, alcoholism, atherosclerosis and very old age increase the risk and severity of ethambutol-induced optic neuropathy. Alternative therapy must be considered or routine ophthalmic observation should be made frequently in patients with these risk factors.

Özet

Etambutol hidroklorid tüberküloz tedavisinde rutin olarak kullanılan birinci basamak ilaçtır. Okülotoksik etkisi doza bağımlıdır. Diabetes mellitus, böbrek yetmezliği, alkolizm, ateroskleroz ve çok yaşlı kişilerde okülotoksik etki riski ve etkisi artmaktadır. Bu nedenle bu risk faktörlerine sahip hastalarda, tüberküloz tedavisinde başka alternatif ilaçlar düşünülmeli veya hastalar sık aralıklarla oftalmolojik muayeneden geçirilmelidir.
