摘要: Some individuals have higher efavirenz plasma concentrations during rifampin-containing tuberculosis (TB) therapy, contrary to the expected induction effect of rifampin. Among HIV-infected patients without (n = 38) and with TB on therapy 18), we tested hypothesis that drug-gene interaction may explain highly variable drug interactions. Two-way analysis variance revealed a significant between CYP2B6 516G→T polymorphism suggesting dose adjustment need be individualized basis patient's genotype.
