DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA
A 4½ years old girl presented with tuberculous meningitis, psoas abscess and epidural abscess. She was treated with 4 drug antituberculous therapy (ATT). However she developed morbilliform rash and fever with elevated liver enzymes (SGPT = 139 IU/L, SGOT = 225 IU/L) due to ATT. She was then shifted to alternate ATT consisting of Ciprofloxacin, Ethambutol & Streptomycin and antibiotics were withheld. Her liver enzymes decreased & fever and rash subsided.

Which antituberculous agent is the likely cause?
