A HOSPITAL consultant has apologised to the family of Dymphna Dykes, a Dublin woman who died from a toxic side-effect of Isoniazid, a drug prescribed to treat her latent tuberculosis.

APOLOGY FOR SIDE-EFFECT DEATH

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.
