ABSTRACT
Gross electrolytes disturbances including hypokalemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hypocalcaemia have been reported in tuberculosis patients who have been treated with capreomycin.1-3 Capreomycin is recommended in the treatment of M. tuberculosis isolates resistant to kanamycin at baseline in multi drug resistant tuberculosis patients (MDR - TB) and treatment of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) under programmatic management of drug resistant tuberculosis (PMDT) in India.4 We report a case of tetany in a extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) patient treated with capreomycin. She developed hypokalemia after 7 weeks of administration of injection capreomycin intramuscularly daily in dose of 750 mg. Hypokalemia was refractory to intravenous potassium replacement therapy. At 12 weeks during the treatment she developed tetany and hypocalcaemia. Hypomagnesaemia was also associated with hypocalcaemia and hypokalemia. Normal level of serum potassium and calcium were achieved with correction of hypomagnesaemia.
