Isoniazid concentrations in hair and plasma area-under-the-curve exposure among children with tuberculosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
We measured hair and plasma concentrations of isoniazid among sixteen children with tuberculosis who underwent personal or video-assisted directly observed therapy and thus had 100% adherence. This study therefore defined typical isoniazid exposure parameters after two months of treatment among fully-adherent patients in both hair and plasma (plasma area under the concentration-time curve, AUC, estimated using pharmacokinetic data collected 0, 2, 4, and 6 hours after drug administration). We found that INH levels in hair among highly-adherent individuals did not correlate well with plasma AUC or trough concentrations, suggesting that each measure may provide incremental and complementary information regarding drug exposure in the context of TB treatment.

Rifampicin reduces plasma concentrations of moxifloxacin in patients with tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND The long duration of the current tuberculosis (TB) treatment is demanding and warrants the development of new drugs. Moxifloxacin shows promising results and may be combined with rifampicin to shorten the duration of TB treatment. Rifampicin induces the phase II metabolic enzymes that are involved in the biotransformation of moxifloxacin. Therefore, the interaction between rifampicin...
متن کاملLow isoniazid concentrations and outcome of tuberculosis treatment with once-weekly isoniazid and rifapentine.
To understand why once-weekly isoniazid/rifapentine therapy for tuberculosis was less effective than twice-weekly isoniazid/rifampin, we studied human immunodeficiency virus-seronegative patients with either failure (n = 4), relapse (n = 35), or cure (n = 94), recruited from a comparative treatment trial. In multivariate analyses that were adjusted for severity of disease, low plasma concentrat...

BACKGROUND The role of drug concentrations in clinical outcomes in children with tuberculosis is unclear. Target concentrations for dose optimization are unknown. METHODS Plasma drug concentrations measured in Indian children with tuberculosis were modeled using compartmental pharmacokinetic analyses. The children were followed until end of therapy to ascertain therapy failure or death. An ...
متن کاملEffect of rifampicin & isoniazid on the steady state pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Moxifloxacin (MFX) is reported to have promising antimycobacterial activity, and has a potential to shorten tuberculosis (TB) treatment. We undertook this study to examine the influence of rifampicin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH) on the steady state pharmacokinetics of MFX individually in healthy individuals. METHODS A baseline pharmacokinetic study of MFX (400 mg once dai...
متن کاملSystemic exposure to rifampicin in patients with tuberculosis and advanced HIV disease during highly active antiretroviral therapy in Burkina Faso.
OBJECTIVES Low plasma concentrations of rifampicin, an essential antituberculosis drug, have been reported particularly among HIV co-infected persons. In a prospective, longitudinal study we measured rifampicin systemic exposure at different timepoints during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). PATIENTS AND METHODS From May 2006 to April 2007, 16 tuberculosis (TB)/HIV co-infected pa...
