'Flu' syndrome on once monthly rifampicin.
Two cases of 'flu' syndrome on once monthly rifampicin are reported. The symptoms were reproduced in one patient with the next supervised dose. In the second patient they did not recur probably because she was receiving systemic steroids for left ulnar neuritis.
