Abstract

The results are presented of a retrospective analysis of the incidence of jaundice among 3,000 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and of the activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase among 850 according to their isoniazid acetylator phenotype. The patients had been treated with a variety of isoniazid-containing regimens in a series of controlled clinical trials in South India. The results show that rapid acetylators are no more prone to develop isoniazid-induced hepatic toxicity than are slow acetylators.
