Intestinal barrier function and serum concentrations of rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide were studied in healthy controls and patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis. A case-control study of 29 controls and 30 cases attending at the Health Center, July, 2004 to December, 2005 was conducted. The body mass index was significantly reduced in cases compared to controls (p < 0.001). The intestinal paracellular transport of lactulose was significantly (p = 0.019) reduced in cases compared to controls. The transcellular transport of mannitol and the lactulose:mannitol ratio were not significantly (p = 0.0698) reduced in cases compared to controls. Low serum concentrations of rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide were observed in 81% (48/59), 92% (54/59) and 28% (12/59), respectively, in all individuals. The results demonstrated a marked decrease on intestinal paracellular transport in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and reduced serum concentrations of rifampin and isoniazid in both groups.

D000995 Antitubercular Agents Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.

D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms.
