Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a pauci-immune necrotizing vasculitis that involves small vessels. Herein, we report an extremely rare case of rifampicin (RFP)-induced AAV. A 42-yearold female was transferred to the West China Hospital due to cough with phlegm for 3 months, fever for 1 month, and fatigue for 2 weeks. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and received anti-TB treatment with isoniazid, RFP, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide (PZA) at her local hospital. After 5 days of anti-TB treatment, her creatinine level rose to 420.2 μmol/L from a normal level prior to anti-TB treatment. Serum proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA was positive. After discontinuing the anti-TB drugs and administering protective renal treatment, her renal function improved, whereas PR3-ANCA remained positive. With RFP rechallenge after transfer to our hospital, the patient developed oliguria. Her urine volume increased gradually after RFP was discontinued 3 days later. Therefore, RFPinduced AAV was suspected. Eventually, the patient received prednisone and anti-TB therapy, including isoniazid, ethambutol, PZA, and moxifloxacin. After 2 months, PZA was discontinued. During 6 months of normal, and PR3-ANCA became negative at 4 months. This outcome is characteristic of RFP-induced AAV.

Is anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity due to a change in pharmacokinetics caused by alterations in antioxidant gene expression and polymorphisms in the NFE2L2 gene?

Objective: Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity (ATDH) is a major adverse reaction of tuberculosis (TB) therapy. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a master transcription factor encoded by the NFE2L2 gene. Nrf2 regulates the expression of antioxidant genes which affect the kinetics of drugs and other xenobiotics, and plays a key role in the regulation of cellular redox status. We investigated the potential association of NFE2L2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with ATDH.
Materials and methods: 280 newly diagnosed TB patients were recruited in this prospective study and were followed up for 3 months after initiating anti-TB therapy. Five tagSNPs (rs2001350, rs6726395, rs1962142, rs13001694, and rs2364723) were selected based on a Han Chinese panel in the International HapMap database with a minor allele frequency < 5% and an r² threshold of 0.8.
Results: Of the 280 subjects recruited in this research, there were 24 patients diagnosed with ATDH, 223 subjects without ATDH, and 33 individuals excluded during the follow-up. After adjusting for confounding factors including sex, age, smoking status, and body mass index, there was no statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that NFE2L2 variants may not contribute to the pathogenesis of ATDH in a Chinese population. Further large sample studies and various population studies are needed to fully explore the association between ATDH and NFE2L2 polymorphism.
