Here's two simple briefings:

Treatment training for advocates - TB and TB drug side effects and interactions

TB drugs can lower your red and white blood counts, so yes your CD4 count might drop.

Do not take RIFAMPICIN  with PIs or nevirapine.

NO PLEURAL EFFUSION OR THICKENING IS OBSERVED. A SMALL CYST ABOUT 1.5x1.2CM.IN THE UPPER POLE OF LEFT KIDNEY IS NOTED.
