LIVER FAILURE Dymphna Dykes
Consultant Seamas Donnelly acknowledged that he, along with Ms Dykes' GP and the healthcare system, had let the family down.
A verdict of medical misadventure was recorded at the Dublin District Coroner's Court inquest into the 68-year-old's death on March 26, 2021, at St Vincent's University Hospital.
The postmortem revealed that her death was caused by multi-organ failure linked to Isoniazid's toxic effects on her liver.
