Select all that apply.

2. yellow tint to the skin

5. change in stool color
Correct Answer: 2, 5
INH and rifampin can cause hepatitis. Jaundice could indicate hepatitis. A change in stool color could possibly be an indication of hepatitis. A fever or diarrhea would not indicate hepatitis. The pain from hepatitis is on the upper-right quadrant, not the left.
