Abstract Isoniazid preventive therapy in malnourished patients with Crohn's disease has a potential of inducing pellagra but still a very rare situation. No cases of isoniazid‐induced pellagra in patients with Crohn's disease were reported in the literature. Pellagra can be easily treated if timely diagnosed.
