Abstract

Two cases which developed epileptiforrn seizures with single 300 mg dose of isoniazid are reported. The criteria of drug induced seizures was remission and recurrence of seizures when the drug was stopped and retested. Desensitization was unsuccessfully tried in one case and concomitant administration of high dose pyridoxine did not help in controlling the seizures.
