Abstract
Acute isoniazid intoxication is rarely seen compared to chronic intoxication. It usually manifests with repetitive seizures, metabolic acidosis and coma. If it isn’t treated urgently, it can be life threatening. Pyridoxine is used to be given in treatment. In this article, we present a case of 16 years old woman who was brought to emergency service with unconsciousness because of the acute isoniazid intoxication and whose life was delivered by hemodialysis
