Abstract

We report about interesting case of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in 6-year old girl. Antituberculotic therapy induced toxic hepatitis (rise of transaminases, indirect hiperbilirubinemia). She was treated with streptomycin, etambutol, ciprofloxacyn and systemic corticosteroides. Two gallbladder stones and high-density sediment were diagnosed after ultrasound examination which could be a side effect of the therapy or previous findings.
