Abstract

Rifampicin is a bactericidal drug used in various infectious diseases, including tuberculosis (TB). Nephrotoxicity is a rare side effect of intermittent Rifampin use and even less commonly continued use. We report a case of Rifampin-induced acute tubular necrosis and hemolysis in a patient with latent TB with a relevant literature review.
