Hiding in Plain Sight: Revisiting a Case of Antitubercular Drug Induced Chromaturia
India being a developing country has a high burden of Tuberculosis (TB). It is a communicable disease and a major global heath challenge. Considering the impact of this illness on both individual patients and public health, it is critical to comprehend the effectiveness and adverse pharmacological profile of the medications. Although most patients on a daily ATT regimen do not encounter the documented ADRs listed below, doctors and patients should be concerned about them. For example, rifampicin induced discoloration of body fluids is often overlooked as it is "innocuous". Nonetheless, Adverse drug reaction (ADRs) reports on these drugs are scarce in proportion especially in regards to the most common ADRs like antitubercular treatment (ATT) induced chromaturia.
