Abstract

A 20 year old man, who had been treated with carbimizepine for 2 years, was put on isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol for treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. He developed hepatitis and neurological toxicity after 6 days. These manifestations appeared to be due to a double drug interaction between isoniazid and carbimizepine, the mechanism of which is discussed.
