High doses of INH may lead to metabolic acidosis, rhabdomyolysis, convulsions, lactic acidosis, coma, and eventually death (1).
Quadruple biomarkers (Inh A, hCG, AFP and uE3) results were used to assess median values for normal and healthy population, which would be used in future for calculation of MoM (Multiple of Median) by using formula MoM=Patient result/Lab median, to predict the risk of Down Syndrome.
Drug susceptibility test (DST) was carried out using BD BACTEC MGIT 960 SIRE kit (Ref: 245123, Becton, Dickinson) in which final drug concentration was 1ug/ml for RIF and 0.1 ug/ml for INH drug.

A study of lupus found, "The level of anti-C1-INH IgG was significantly higher in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, than in the (healthy) controls." (17% versus 4% respectively) (39) This correlated with disease activity and duration (17 versus 8 years median disease duration in those with anti-Cl INH versus without).
To enlarge the capacity for the detection of drug resistance, the WHO recommends the use of a line-probe assay, the GenoType MTBDR plus assay (Hain Lifescience GmbH, Nehren, Germany), which can identify the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex as well as resistance to rifampicin (RFP) and isoniazid (INH) drugs.[sup][7] The assay detects mutations in the rpoB gene for RFP resistance, katG gene for INH resistance, and inhA regulatory region gene for low-level INH resistance.[sup][8] Subsequently, a new DNA strip assay, GenoType MTBDR sl version 1.0 (Hain Lifescience GmbH, Nehren, Germany), was developed to detect resistance to ethambutol (EMB), fluoroquinolones, and injectable aminoglycosides/cyclic peptides allowing diagnosis of XDR-TB among MDR-TB patients.
