Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your wife has tuberculous meningitis and she was treated with AKT. Antu tuberculous drugs are hepatotoxic and known to cause liver damage. So she may have drug toxicity. She should stop AKT. Just wait for your liver function to come down at normal level. Change the drugs which are non hepatotoxic. Her rashs may be due to meningitis or other cause. She should also check for complete blood count and coagulation profile. Then she should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
