ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/

AIMS:

We investigated the time of onset of antituberculous drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ADIH) and related characteristics.

METHODS:

Adult patients (n = 1,031) treated with first-line antituberculous drugs between February 2009 and January 2013 were enrolled.

RESULTS:

Of the 1,031 patients, 108 patients (10.5%) developed ADIH a mean of 39.6 +/- 43.7 days after treatment initiation. Twenty-eight patients (25.9%) developed ADIH within 7 days, 73 (67.6%) within 30 days, and the rest after 30 days. The 30-day group. In subgroup analysis, the 40 IU/L (odds ratio [OR], 2.995; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.580 to 5.680; p = 0.001) and presence of anti-hepatitis C virus (OR, 4.204; 95% CI, 1.822 to 9.700, p = 0.001) were independent risk factors for development of ADIH.

CONCLUSIONS:

Approximately 70% of the cases of ADIH occurred in the first month of antituberculous treatment, and were associated with continuation of the first-line drug regimen.
