ATT induced hepatitis was seen in 14 (9.33%) of the cases. ATT induced hepatitis was more seen in age group 15 to 31 affecting 10 (11.36%) of the cases with p= 0.04. ATT induced hepatitis was also more common in cases with PTB affecting 12 (11.11%) of the cases as compared to 2 (4.76%) of cases in EPTB with p value of 0.01 Conclusion: ATT induced hepatitis is seen in every 1/10th of the case and it is significantly high in age group 15 to 31 and those having PTB.
