Abstract

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and its associated gastrointestinal complications may impair the absorption of antituberculosis drugs, which results in subsequent treatment failure. We evaluated the effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on the pharmacokinetics of antituberculosis drugs by measuring blood levels of rifampicin and isoniazid in patients with advanced HIV disease and diarrhea with and without tuberculosis.
