Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease, and alcohol dehydrogenase deficiency syndrome is a chronic or acquired metabolic disorder, so I would say yes, you could have both at the same time. One should not affect the other to any great extent. I thought most folks thought Poe most likely died from wernicke/korsakoff syndrome; a thiamine deficiency alcoholics get when their livers are damaged. Thiamine is stored in the liver, and when the liver is damaged, it does not store enough thiamine to maintain health during a drinking binge. Starve the brain of thiamine and all hell breaks loose with remarkable swiftness. Good Luck on your paper

Of all anti-TB drugs only Rifampin may cause side effects in your urine, stools, saliva, sputum, sweat, and tears to turn red-orange; this effect is harmless. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: headache, muscle pain, bone pain, heartburn, upset stomach, vomiting, stomach cramps, chills, diarrhea If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: skin rash (hives), sores on skin or in the mouth, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes
