The hospital and the woman’s GP apologise to the family of Dymphna Dykes, 68, after her death is linked to a side effect of the tuberculosis drug isoniazid.

BreakingNews.ie states that the cause of death is multi-organ failure due to acute liver failure linked to the side effect of the drug Isoniazid.

Taken together, the coverage focuses on the same underlying medical sequence—isoniazid exposure followed by acute liver failure and then multi-organ failure—and the official response to the family in the form of apologies from the relevant care providers.
