Abstract
Rifampicin induced acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is a relatively rare entity, but in a setting of high tuberculosis (TB) prevalence, may be met with on occasion. TB is rife. If diagnosed and treated in time, the prognosis for renal recovery is good. We present such a case of a 42 year old woman who developed ATN after treatment with a rifampicin-based anti-tubercular regimen for TB synovitis of the wrist, nevertheless patient recovered after steriod therapy.

Key words: Acute interstitial nephritis, Rifampicin, Tuberculosis
