Rifampicin Serum Level in Egyptian Tuberculous Patients.

摘要

This report includes the microbiological determination of Rifampicin (RMP) serum levels in 26 chronic tuberculous Egyptian patients who received the drug for the first time. RMP mean serum levels at 3 and 6 hours after its oral administration in therapeutic doses (450/600 mg daily), were 5.01 micrograms/ml (S.D. + or - 3.14) and 3.53 micrograms/ml (S.D. + or - 1.3) respectively. RMP serum levels at 3 and 6 hour samples exceeded 0.2 micrograms/ml in all patients. (Author)
