Abstract

TB is currently the second cause of death among patients affected with infectious diseases. Quantification of drug levels in plasma and in cells where Mycobacterium tuberculosis persists and grows may be useful in understanding the appropriateness of dosage regimens. We report a new and fully validated chromatographic method to quantify first-line antituberculars in plasma and PBMCs. The method was used for plasma and cell quantification of antituberculars in patients undergoing treatment with standard oral therapy.
