Abstract：One 44-year-old female patient was admitted to hospital because of taking anti-tuberculosis drugs for one month and abdominal pain for one week. The patient was diagnosed as abdominal pain, tuberculous pleurisy and liver injury. According to previous examination indexes and medication history, the clinical pharmacists highly suspected the liver injury was induced by anti-tuberculosis drugs. Combining with treatment guidelines, clinical pharmacists assisted physicians to clarify the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury and optimize treatment regimens, and the pharmaceutical care and medication education were carried out during the treatment. Liver function nearly recovered after 16 days of discontinuing of anti-tuberculosis drugs and beginning hepatoprotective treatment. Clinical pharmacists assisted physicians to reconfirm anti-tuberculosis scheme. After anti-tuberculosis retreatment for 6 days, liver function became normal and the patient discharged from hospital with drugs.
