Hypersensitivity myocarditis induced by isoniazid overdose in a 15-year-old girl: a case report
This case underscores the critical need to consider drug-induced hypersensitivity myocarditis in the differential diagnosis of myocarditis, especially in patients with recent medication use. Prompt recognition and appropriate treatment with pyridoxine, steroid, and supportive cardiac care can be lifesaving. This case also highlights the importance of awareness regarding the potential cardiotoxic effects of isoniazid overdose.
