Abstract
1. Attention is drawn to the incidence of hypersensitivity to para-aminosalicylic acid in the course of antituberculous treatment. 2. The clinical features are described with particular reference to hepatic complications. 3. Three cases are presented to illustrate the salient features of the condition. 4. The importance of early detection of the reaction, the giving of test doses and the technique of desensitisation of the patient to para-aminosalicylic acid are discussed.Keywords
