Index. There are 21 chapters in the handbook. Chapters practically cover all the aspects of adverse drug reactions in tuberculosis treatment ranging from pharmacology, interaction between anti-TB drugs with food and other drugs including antiretroviral drugs, monitoring and management of adverse drug reactions of antituberculosis drugs used in new and drug resistant cases of tuberculosis. The chapters in the book have been arranged in a systematic sequence for easy understanding and are based on practical approach with illustrative cases, blended with the most up-to-date knowledge in the field. The chapters have been written on the basis of vast and rich clinical experience gained by the author from day-to-day patient management over the last four decades.
