Abstract
The prevalence of TB was similar to that reported in the literature, but positivity to TT was higher (34% vs 25%), possibly because of the endemicity of the area. There was a lower prevalence of extrapulmonary disease and no mortality. No patient undergoing PX with isoniazid, although incomplete due to suspicion of hepatotoxicity displayed TB. One patient without PX was affected by TB. The drug was effective but not always safe.
