pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and in patients with PTB and HIV during the first 24 h of treatment. Methods: Designed a case-control
study, it compares the pharmacokinetics of first line antituberculous drugs, in HIV-positive (cases) and HIV-negative (control) patients
both presenting with pulmonary tuberculosis. Blood samples were collected before and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 8, 12 and 24 h
after administration of drugs. Drugs plasma levels were tested using HPLC assays. Results: Fourteen HIV positive (7 males and 7
females) and 17 HIV negative (9 males and 8 females) enrolled. Rifafour, a combination tablet including rifampicin, isoniazid,
pyrazinamide and ethambutol was used in HIV positive patients, CD4 counts were significantly lower, renal function mildly decreased
in 85% patients and moderately decreased in 7% patients. Liver function was normal in both groups. None of these patients was on
other drug therapy. In the HIV positive group isoniazid T1/2 and AUC were decreased and Cl increased whereas Tmax and Cmax were
unchanged. Pyrazinamide Tmax and Cmax were significantly decreased in HIV positive patients and no significant changes were
noticed in the T1/2, AUC and CL. Conclusion: The study suggest that ethambutol, pyrazinamide and rifampicin pharmacokinetics was
not affected by HIV infection and that isoniazid disposition is affected by HIV.
Key words: Pharmacokinetics, rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, HIV infection.

Therapeutic response is influenced by the Tuberculosis (TB), in sub-Saharan Africa, remains a method of administration with Directly Observed leading cause of mortality in HIV infected patients and Treatment (DOT) estimated to have averted 8 million is the leading cause of death in South Africa where the deaths related to TB [3]. Appropriate management of life expectancy is only 49 years of age. The country has TB in South Africa is particular important because of the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS world wide with an the high incidence of HIV, a known risk factor for estimated 5.7 million people infected in 2009 [1, 2]. development of TB, and the high rates of MDR-TB Co-infection of HIV/AIDS patients with TB is a with over 6,000 cases expected to be treated in South substantial health problem.

Some authors concluded that drug malabsorption may contribute to the emergence of acquired drug resistance [7–10]; and they have advocated for routine therapeutic drug monitoring of For the initial phase of treatment (2 months) antituberculous drugs in HIV-infected patients, Rifafour® e-200 tablets were used.

For each of 4 drugs responses for those who are As indicated in Table 1, the age distribution is HIV Positive were compared to those who were similar in both groups. The mean age is 33.06±10.12 in negative on each of the 9 parameters. Some of the HIV negative group (control) and 35.14±12.05 in HIV parameters are related, so test results are not independent. Nevertheless there are many tests being Out of 14 HIV-positive patients, 9 were stage 3 done so a more stringent level of significance was used (WHO staging system) and 5 were stage 4 (WHO (a p value of < 0.01 rather than the customary 0.05 was staging system). The mean CD4 cells was 356.38 and required for significance). In many cases the the mean period of HIV infection was 5.9 yrs. distribution of the measurements was skewed and The CD4 counts were significantly lower in the HIV decidedly non-normal.

Ethambutol Cmax, Tmax and half life found in this study are similar to those reported in previous studies and there is no significant difference between HIV-negative and HIV-positive patients [12, 15–18]. The presence of HIV does not influence the disposition of ethambutol. Isoniazid pharmacoki- netic parameters found in this study and those reported previously [12, 15–18] are quite variable.

This result is in variance with other studies and does indicate the need for additional studies.
