This 60-minute training was created for public and private clinicians and allied health personnel who work with tuberculosis (TB). It clarified key information that providers need to know when working with patients with compromised liver function due to taking TB medication.

Objectives

After viewing this presentation, participants will be able to:

• Identify symptoms suggestive of anti-TB drug induced liver injury (DILI).
• Implement appropriate medical management for TB patients experiencing DILI.
• Identify TB patients who from the start of therapy are candidates for either liver-sparing regimens or close monitoring of hepatic function.

*CME and CE units are not being offered for this recording and there is no participant evaluation.
