Abstract

Tuberculosis is still an important health problem in our country as its prevalence has increased in recent years. Isoniazid is one of the most commonly used antituberculous drugs because it is cheap and efficacious. When administered at high doses; it can cause convulsions, metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, rhabdomyolisis, coma, and even death. The basis of therapy consists of parenteral pyridoxine administration in a dose equivalent to that of the ingested isoniazid. Here we reported three cases of acute isoniazid intoxication presenting with convulsions and aimed to discuss the clinical signs, pathophysiology, and treatment of isoniazid intoxication.

Özet

Son yıllarda görülme sıklığı yeniden artan tüberküloz, ülkemiz için halen önemli bir toplum sağlığı sorunudur. İzoniazid, ucuz ve etkin olması nedeniyle en sık kullanılan antitüberküloz ilaçlardan biridir. Yüksek dozlarda alındığında konvülsiyon, metabolik asidoz, laktik asidoz, rabdomiyoliz, koma ve hatta ölümle sonuçlanabilir. Temel tedavi alınan izoniazide eş dozda verilen parenteral piridoksin uygulamasıdır. Burada konvülsiyon geçirdiği için getirilen üç olgu sunulmuş olup, izoniazid zehirlenmesinin klinik ve metabolik bulguları ile tedavi yaklaşımının tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.
