Ethionamide induced blue vision (cyanopsia): Case report.
    The Indian journal of tuberculosis, 2020, Volume: 67, Issue:3

    Ethionamide is part of a group of drugs used in the treatment of drug resistant TB. With the advent of increasing drug resistance in pulmonary TB cases, use of Ethionamide, a second line anti tubercular drug is increasing. Vision changes are rare with ethionamide. Cyanopsia i.e., bluish tinted vision of surroundings with ethionamide is not known in literature. Here, we report a case of DRTB patient who developed cyanopsia soon after introducing ethionamide. Although reversible, ethionamide may sometimes need withdrawal because of significant distress caused to patient.
