12. Studied MHC class II alleles and clinical risk factors for the development of hepatotoxicity in 346 North Indian pts. with TB. 56 patients developed drug-induced hepatotoxicity (DIH group), whereas the remaining 290 patients did not (non-DIH group).

16. . 5. Treatment with other drugs. cytochrome P450 has been frequently associated with production of hepatotoxic reactive metabolites 6. Disseminated or advanced TB. consequence of malnutrition or liver deterioration attributable to the disease itself. 7. Patients previously subjected to antituberculous therapy. increased risk of damage attributable to rifampicin, which in turn is associated with hypersensitivity reactions that lead to the release of immune complexes. 8. Atopy. linked to the existence of other cases of adverse anti-TB drug reactions in family members; thus, the clinical history of the patient should be carefully evaluated before treatment is started. 9. Sex. Women are at a comparatively greater risk of developing druginduced liver reactions. 10. HIV infection. risk of such reactions increases with the degree of host immunosuppression.
