Abstract

Anti-tubercular drugs are associated with some common and some rare adverse effects. We describe a case of a rare side effect- cardiomyopathy. In literature, none of the antituberculosis drugs are commonly mentioned among the drugs known to cause myocardial injury and cardiomyopathy. There have been only a handful of cases of anti-tuberculosis drug induced cardiomyopathy reported before. It is very important to recognize and treat this condition in a timely fashion which can otherwise be fatal as is shown in this case.
