Abstract

One case of acute renaI failure foIIowing rifampicin administration is presented with brief review. Acute renaI failure developed in a 49-year-old male who had had far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis and taken rifampicin accidentally after cessation for several months. The oliguria persisted for II days and was foIIowed by prompt recovery with peritoneal dialysis. A renal biopsy showed tubulointerstitial nephritis.
