Abstract

A 31 year old female patient who had a history of pulmonary tuberculosis for 5 years developed acute renal failure, immune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia after
administration of rifampin for a week. Rifampin induced immune hemolytic anemia, acute renal failure & thrombocytopenia which were characterized by positive direct Coombs test, positive anti-rifampin antibody, acute azotemia & thrombocytopenia.
These abnormalities were reversed 10 days after withdrawal of rifampin.
