Sievers M L~~Cynamon M H~~Bittker T E
A 30-month study explored the degree to which self-destructive behavior compromised tuberculosis therapy & prophylaxis among Southwestern Indians. The frequency of isoniazid (INH) overdosage paralleled the extent of INH usage in each tribe & the extent to which INH was prescribed for each tuberculsis category. The authors recommend various measures to prevent such overdoses from occurring. (DD)
