Abstract
Isoniazid induced psychosis (IIP) is well reported with varied clinical presentations. Many hypotheses are
available to explain the mechanism of (IIP) but lack conclusive evidence in its favour. The current case
establishes neuropathy with vitamin B6 deficiency as a possible cause for IIP warranting early clinician's
attention as the condition may be potentially serious & life threatening.
