Core Tip	Treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in patients with underlying cirrhosis is a challenge because of the compromised liver functions and high risk of hepatotoxicity. There is no consensus regarding the treatment and monitoring of TB in this group of patients. This paper reviews the differences in diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, hepatotoxicity and other issues in treatment of TB in patients with cirrhosis. Suggestions for treatment of TB in patients with different grades of cirrhosis, as well as monitoring guidelines, are provided. Finally, issues such as liver transplantation, multidrug-resistant TB and reactivation of TB by interferon are briefly reviewed.
