Pharmacokinetics of First-Line Drugs in Children With Tuberculosis, Using World Health Organization-Recommended Weight Band Doses and Formulations

Chishala Chabala et al.

Summary: The fixed-dose combination tablets delivering higher doses of first-line antituberculosis drugs in children resulted in lower drug exposures, both in children with lower weights and those receiving adult doses. Further adjustments are needed to achieve target exposures in adults.

Identifying an optimal dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine dosing regimen for malaria prevention in young Ugandan children

Erika Wallender et al.

Summary: Intermittent preventive treatment with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) is highly protective against malaria in children, with DP every 4 weeks associated with 95% protective efficacy. A PPQ level of 15.4 ng/mL reduces the malaria hazard by 95%, while malnutrition decreases PPQ exposure.

Population Pharmacokinetic Properties of Antituberculosis Drugs in Vietnamese Children with Tuberculous Meningitis

Navarat Panjasawatwong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the population pharmacokinetics of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol in Vietnamese children with TBM, recommended higher rifampin doses to achieve target exposure, and found that low rifampin plasma exposure was associated with an increased risk of neurological disability.
