STEAD, D F  e  MASON, C R. Three cases of intentional isoniazid overdose - a life-threatening condition. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2016, vol.106, n.9, pp.891-892. ISSN 2078-5135.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2016.v106i9.10582.

Currently, isoniazid (INH) overdose seems to be a growing and life-threatening problem, partly due to the recent national roll-out of INH preventive therapy (IPT) for HIV-positive adults. We present three cases, two of which were fatal, seen at Frere and Cecilia Makiwane hospitals, East London, South Africa over the past 16 months.
