Abstract:

Rifampicin and isoniazid, as the core drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis, can cause delayed allergic reactions, even severe adverse reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) and other severe allergic systemic symptoms, threatening the life safety of patients. Identification of allergenic drugs and implementation of desensitization therapy have become the key to safe and effective anti-tuberculosis therapy. In this article, we made a comprehensive literature review, and analyzed and summarized the sensitizing mechanisms of rifampicin and isoniazid in skin anaphylaxis, the common clinical manifestations, the detection of sensitizing drugs and the desensitization therapeutic scheme, so as to provide references for the desensitization treatment of these two drugs.
