Isoniazid Induced Psychosis (Self Harm Behaviour) with Neuropathy & Vitamin B6 Deficiency.

ABSTRACT

Isoniazid induced psychosis (IIP) is well reported with varied clinical presentations. Many hypotheses are available to explain the mechanism of (IIP) but lack conclusive evidence in its favour. The current case establishes neuropathy with vitamin B6 deficiency as a possible cause for IIP warranting early clinician's attention as the condition may be potentially serious & life threatening.
