In 2010, World Heatlh Organization issued guidelines for HIV patients to receive INH prophylaxis to prevent TB infection. The implementation of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) is quite cheap using INH with mild side effects.18 A meta-analysis study of INH prophylaxis in patients with HIV found that the efficacy of this prophylaxis significantly reduced TB incidence by 35% with an RR of 0.65%. In addition, INH was found to be safe, with no significant increase in drug reactions, according to a meta-analysis of prophylaxis studies in HIV patients. However, there is no guideline for INH prophylaxis for SLE patients, as there is for HIV patients, due to lack of data on this issue. Studies on the eff…
