ABSTRACT : INH poisoning is commonly seen in emergency clinics but there is very little description found in literatures. To describe the clinical profile and outcome of this poisoning, a five year retrospective study of these cases was conducted. the records of 41 patients with INH poisoning were retrieved. The average age among these patients was 24.8 years old. The male : female ratio is 1:2.2. Seizure, loss of conciousness and vomiting were the three most common symptoms in order of frequency. Other less frequent were headache, chest pain dizzinnes, drowsiness and fever. The common signs noted were tachycardia, tachypnea, and occasionaly hypertension. Other physical examination findings were essentially normal. Common laboratory manifestations includedleukocytosis, trace to + albumnimura and elevated SGPT levels. For Patients who did not survived, three out of five deaths were male. The average amount of INH ingested by nose died 5.2 grams. All of them presented as seizure. These results showed the typical manifestations of INH poisoning. In patients wherein the ingested poison is not known, INH should be considered as the culprit if presented with this clinical profile and appropriate actions are recommended as outlined in this study. 56
