Cycloserine induced mania

Abstract: We report a 21-year-old male who developed manic symptoms after addition of second line anti-tuberculosis treatment for his multidrug resistant tuberculosis. We identified cycloserine as offending drug; and discuss the management and possible neurobiological mechanisms as etiological explanation and implications of manic switch caused by cycloserine.

“…However, possible modulation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists and partial agonist at NMDAR associated glycine site by the drug as proposed by Bakhla et al . [ 4 ] may be the possible mechanism, in this case. The current case further supports this hypothesis since aggression and insomnia suggests a CNS stimulant action of the drug although no seizures were observed in our patient.…”

“…In cases reported in the literature, terminating cycloserine alone or together with the use of anti-manic anti-psychotic agents has caused the manic/psychotic profile to regress in a short time, and anti-manic anti-psychotic treatment for a short time has been reported to be sufficient 3,4,5,6,7 .…”

“…Cabe anotar que el brote de psicosis inducida por cicloserina no es necesariamente inmediato: en la literatura se reportan casos suscitados luego de varios meses de iniciado el uso de cicloserina (2,7). Para mayor abundamiento, la evaluación de este caso a la luz del Algoritmo de Naranjo, uno de los más empleados en la ponderación de efectos adversos medicamentosos, arroja un puntaje de 7; lo que califica como "probable" la adjudicación de nuestro caso de psicosis a los efectos de la cicloserina (12). Aunque hay algunos reportes de caso de psicosis secundaria a la administración de ciprofloxacino (5), la desaparición de la psicosis en nuestro caso pese a la continuación de este inhibidor de girasa, descarta su participación causal; lo mismo puede decirse del etambutol, cuya participación en casos de psicosis es aún más infrecuente (5,6).…”
