Motor neuropathy appearing during the course of treated tuberculous meningitis
Isonicotinic acid hydrazide has now been in use for over 5 years in the treatment of tuberculosis in its various forms. Many toxic effects of the drug have been reported, including a number of cases of peripheral neuritis.
