Abstract

The article discusses a case of isoniazid-induced pellagra in a 43-year-old female who presented with perianal lesions. Pellagra is a systemic deficiency disease caused by a lack of vitamin B3, with symptoms including dermatitis, gastrointestinal issues, and neuropsychiatric manifestations. The patient was successfully treated with nicotinamide, highlighting the importance of recognizing and treating this potentially fatal condition. [Extracted from the article]
