Estudo da barreira funcional intestinal e concentrações séricas de rifampicina ...
Barroso, Elizabeth ClaraReduced antituberculosis drugs concentrations are associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance. This study aims to evaluate intestinal permeability and serum concentrations of rifampin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). A case-control was conducted with outpatients who attended Messejana’s Hospital in Fortaleza-Ceará from August 2006 to April 2007. MDR...
