Pharmacokinetics and safety/tolerability of isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide in children and adolescents treated for tuberculous meningitis

Rovina Ruslami et al.

Summary: This study examined the pharmacokinetics and safety of isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide in children and adolescents with tuberculous meningitis. It found that higher doses of rifampicin are needed for the treatment of TBM in this population, and that there was an association between higher plasma concentrations of isoniazid, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide and the development of drug-induced liver injury. Further confirmatory studies are needed to validate these findings.

High-Dose Oral and Intravenous Rifampicin for the Treatment of Tuberculous Meningitis in Predominantly Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Positive Ugandan Adults: A Phase II Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial

Fiona Cresswell et al.

Summary: The study showed that high-dose rifampicin can increase serum and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations in tuberculous meningitis patients without excess toxicity. Current international guidelines result in sub-therapeutic CSF rifampicin concentration for Ugandan TBM patients.

Elevated cerebrospinal fluid cytokine levels in tuberculous meningitis predict survival in response to dexamethasone

Laura J. Whitworth et al.

Summary: The TT homozygosity of the LTA4H gene is associated with higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid, and it correlates with the efficacy of dexamethasone in tuberculous meningitis patients. This association extends beyond TT patients to non-TT individuals, suggesting that other genetic variations may also influence the responsiveness to dexamethasone.

Imaging Enterobacterales infections in patients using pathogen-specific positron emission tomography

Alvaro A. Ordonez et al.

Summary: F-18-FDS is a PET technology that can selectively detect Enterobacterales infections, providing safe and rapid localization of infections, differentiation of different strains, and monitoring of antibiotic efficacy. Additionally, the research demonstrates the value of F-18-FDS in differentiating diseases such as complications of COVID-19.
