The role of therapeutic drug monitoring in individualised drug dosage and exposure measurement in tuberculosis and HIV co-infection

Abstract: resistance and thereby the spread of MDR-TB. In addition, TDM may help to reduce the time to sputum conversion as it optimises drug exposure, thereby preventing transmission to others. For these reasons, TDM will probably be cost effective. @ERSpublications Wider use of TDM in complex TB cases could improve therapeutic management and prevent emergence of drug resistance

“…This AUC was obtained in only 13 (24%) of the 55 patients studied. In the event that the observed MIC was lower, this might still result in a favorable AUC/MIC ratio (38). Furthermore, on the basis of the lower AUC 0 -24 value of 13 mg · h/liter for rifampin in the presence of a pyrazinamide AUC value over 363 mg · h/liter recently proposed by Pasipanodya et al (4), all our patients obtained sufficient exposure.…”

“…Taking the risk of bias assessment (Table 1) into account in relation to the studies included in the systematic review, we postulate that in patients prone to low FLD exposure, HIV infection might even further reduce drug exposure [66], leading to poor treatment outcome [9]. While not a substitute for clinical judgement, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could be a powerful tool for identifying patients with subtherapeutic FLD levels at risk of poor treatment outcomes [62,67,68]. TDM performed early during TB treatment in patients at risk of subtherapeutic FLD levels may improve treatment response and may also prevent toxicity [68,69].…”

“…Drug exposure over time (area under the concentration-time curve (AUC 0-24 )) and peak serum concentration (C max ) are the two parameters that, in combination with MIC, predict development of acquired drug resistance and are expressed as a ratio of AUC 0-24 /MIC or C max /MIC [4]. For instance, a patient with serum concentrations below the suggested therapeutic threshold may still achieve a successful treatment outcome because of a low MIC of the offending organism [5]. However, patients with altered pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g.…”
