Isoniazid-Induced Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report.
Drug Safety - Case Reports 2019 September 21
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can be induced by various medications, such as hydralazine, procainamide, isoniazid, methyldopa, chlorpromazine, quinidine, and minocycline. A patient was admitted complaining of fever with chills and rigor. After being diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis, the patient was given antituberculosis treatment. As the patient did not improve, detailed investigations were conducted, and elevated antinuclear antibody levels were found. The consulting physician diagnosed that the patient was suffering from SLE. As isoniazid is associated with an increased risk of developing SLE, it was suspected as the culprit drug. After withdrawing isoniazid from the antituberculosis treatment regimen, the patient improved and was discharged. Based on the WHO-UMC and Naranjo's causality assessment criteria, an association between the reaction and isoniazid was deemed probable. The reaction was moderately severe (level 4b) according to the modified Hartwig and Siegel scale.
