Abstract:
The present case report describes a 10-year-old boy with clinical history of steroid-dependent asthma who developed severe exacerbation of his respiratory symptoms upon isoniazid administration. Subsequent control of his asthma symptoms was re-established and maintained only after isoniazid withdrawal. This case is the first to emphasize the dangers of isoniazid administration in patients who have asthma.
