“…It also commonly causes a fever and rash (Maddrey & Boitnott, 1973). On the other hand, there are observations that suggest that INH can lead to immune suppression, which include the fact that administration of INH together with intra-vesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy for superficial bladder cancer appeared to: reduce the induction of mononuclear cell infiltrate in the bladder wall, inhibit enlargement of regional lymph nodes, inhibit the increase in MHC II expression of lymph node cells and diminish systemic immunity that was induced by BCG administration (de Boer et al, 1992). Signs of immune impairment were seen even if INH was administered later on during the course of BCG therapy, or if the dose of BCG was increased.…”

“…In a study by De Boer et al [9], isoniazid did not influence the growth of urothelial neoplasms in animal models. It is unknown whether iso niazid could influence the antitumour effect in man.…”

“…The prophylactic administration of isoniazid can prevent adverse effects after BCG therapy, but animal studies 16 suggest that prophylactic antituberculous drug therapy can reduce the antitumor effect as well as the immune response. Immunological studies are needed to determine the underlying pathogenic mechanism(s) of arthritis and conjunctivitis, and to search for an effective treatment or prevention of adverse events after intracavitary BCG immunotherapy.…”
