Brief Summary

To improve the treatment outcome in patients with tuberculosis and integrate the pharmacogenetics into clinical practice, the information of NAT2 genotyping was used in re-challenge protocol for isoniazid (INH) titration in patients with anti-tuberculosis medication-induced hepatitis.

GroupInterventionDescription
isoniazid rechallengisoniazidWhen patients encountered hepatotoxicity during the anti-TB treatment, genotyping and pk study of INH would be performed and dose adjustment accordingly.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
successful re-use of isoniazid for TB treatment6 months

In this study, we would like to test the hypothesis of NAT2 genotyping helping in isoniazid rechallenge after patients experienced adverse effects of anti-TB treatment. Therefore, to observe the patients can re-use isoniazid successfully is an important outcome measure in this study.
