Cure of tuberculosis despite serum concentrations of antituberculosis drugs below published reference ranges.
PRINCIPLES Therapeutic target serum concentrations of first-line antituberculosis drugs have not been well defined in clinical studies in tuberculosis (TB) patients. METHODS We retrospectively investigated the estimated maximum serum concentrations (eC max) of antituberculosis drugs and clinical outcome of TB patients with therapeutic drug monitoring performed between 2010-2012 at our institu...
متن کاملSerum Levels of Antituberculosis Drugs and Their Effect on Tuberculosis Treatment Outcome.
Therapeutic drug monitoring in tuberculosis remains controversial. We evaluated the relationship between antituberculosis drug levels in blood and clinical outcome. Serum concentrations of first-line antituberculosis drugs were measured in tuberculosis patients between March 2006 and April 2013. Venous blood was drawn 2 h after drug ingestion and was analyzed using high-performance liquid chrom...
متن کاملEffect of Antituberculosis Regimen Containing Ethambutol on Serum magnesium Level in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients
Magnesium is an essential metal that has important roles in physiological function of the body organs. Ethambutol is an oral antitubercular agent with chelating effects owing to its chemical structure. The aim of present study is to determine whether ethambutol usage can alter serum magnesium concentration in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Sixty patients with diagnosis of pulmonary tuber...
متن کاملSalicylate reduces susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to multiple antituberculosis drugs.
Salicylate induces multiple antibiotic resistance in various bacterial species. Here we investigated the effect of salicylate on the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to a range of antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs. In the presence of salicylate, the killing effects of isoniazid (INH), rifampin (RMP), ethambutol (EMB), streptomycin (STR), and p-aminosalicylate (PAS) were reduced, as s...
متن کاملPrimary drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antituberculosis drugs.
Thirty two positive sputa from 104 untreated cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, were tested for sensitivities against antituberculosis drugs. Twenty four were positive on direct smear as well as culture while 8 were only culture positive. Nine (28%) were resistant to Isoniazid, 3 (9.4%) to Streptomycin and 2 (6.3%) were resistant to both the drugs. All the 32 were sensitive to Rifampicin and Etha...
