ANS: A
Polyarthralgias occur in 40 of patients during the initial phase of treatment with pyrazinamide and can be managed with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Renal function tests and uric acid levels are not indicated. Unless the pain cannot be managed with NSAIDs, there is no need to reduce the dose of pyrazinamide.
