The methods of monitoring included intersive hospital monitoring in the Anti-tuberculosis Association of Thailand Hospital under the Royal Patronage of H.M. the King, Bangkok, Thailand and spontaneous report system operated by National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center (NADRM) of the Thai FDA. During the period between January 1-December 31,1988, there were 15,844 patients attending out-patient clinic of The Anti-tuberculosis Association of Thailand Hospital. Only 304 patients were considered to be eligible for this study. Adverse reactions occurred in 12.5% of the study population. Dermatological manifestations including skin rash, urticaria, pruritus, and Steven Johnson Syndrome were the most common reatcions found. Most of reactions were considered to be mild in severity (83%). One patient died due to severe allergic reaction induced by a combination therapy of isoniazid and rifampicin. Age and sex did not seem to have any significant effect on development of adverse drug reaction (ADR). Analysis of spontaneous report collected by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that 11% of total adverse drug reaction reports received were due to antituberculosis drugs. More types of adverse effects were reported than those found in intensive hospital monitoring study. Out of 216 cases reported 4 petients died of Steven Johnson Syndrome with seven complication dur to a combination of isoniazid and thiacetazone. Unexpected adverse effects of antituberculosis drugs were not identified in this study and being expected based on their pharmacological properties and there are no evidences to suggest that Thai patients respond differently to antituberculosis drugs from Western patients.viii, 103 leaves : ill.application/pdfengผลงานนี้เป็นลิขสิทธิ์ของมหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล ขอสงวนไว้สำหรับเพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น ต้องอ้างอิงแหล่งที่มา ห้ามดัดแปลงเนื้อหา และห้ามนำไปใช้เพื่อการค้าAntitbercular agents -- Adverse EffedsAntitubercular agentsTuberculosisMaster ThesisMahidol University
