ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Isoniazid-induced pancreatitis is a potentially serious adverse drug reaction, however, the frequency of its occurrence is unknown. We conducted a systematic review to explore this adverse drug reaction comprehensively.METHODS:
We performed an advanced search in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, and Embase for studies that reported isoniazid-induced pancreatitis. From the extracted data of eligible cases, we performed a descriptive analysis and a methodological risk of bias assessment using a standardized tool.RESULTS:
We included 16 case reports from eight countries comprising 16 patients in our systematic review. Most of the isoniazid-induced pancreatitis cases were extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases. We found the mean age across all case reports was 36.7 years. In all the cases, discontinuation of isoniazid resulted in the resolution of pancreatitis.CONCLUSIONS:
We found the latency period for isoniazid-induced pancreatitis to be ranged from 12 to 45 days after initiation of isoniazid therapy. A low threshold for screening of pancreatitis by measuring pancreatic enzymes in patients on isoniazid presenting with acute abdominal pain is recommended. This would facilitate an early diagnosis and discontinuation of isoniazid, thus reducing the severity of pancreatitis and preventing the complications of pancreatitis.
