Treatment of Extrapulmonary TB
In general, extrapulmonary tuberculosis is
treated the same as pulmonary tuberculosis
Some experts recommend extending the
duration of therapy in patients with:
Meningeal tuberculosis
Bone/joint tuberculosis

In patients with
extrapulmonary TB and
in children, the
response to treatment
is best assessed
clinically.

INH, (EMB)
Drug-induced Hepatotoxicity
Hepatotoxic reactions:
Transaminase elevation age-dependent
with INH
Transaminase elevation dose-dependent
with PZA
Cholestasis (increase in bilirubin and
alkaline phosphatase) with RIF
Symptoms imply significant hepatotoxicity
(Mild transaminase elevation may not be
clinically significant)
ISTC TB Training Modules 2009
Managing Hepatotoxicity
Management
Hold all medications and follow liver
enzymes for significant hepatotoxicity
Re-challenge depends on circumstances
and severity of liver dysfunction
In general, patients should be restarted
with EMB (the least hepatotoxic drug) and
RIF, usually followed in several days by
INH if there is no worsening of liver
function
