Abstract

Isoniazid is one of the most important drugs in the management of pulmonary tuberculosis; of all the antituberculous drugs, it is one of the most commonly implicated drugs in drug-induced psychosis. We report a case of isoniazid-induced psychosis in a 31-year-old patient with pulmonary tuberculosis.
