Getting drug doses right in children with tuberculosis (TB)

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: New drugs that could revolutionize the treatment of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB are imminently available. Moreover recent research of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships in adults suggests that the doses of some currently used drugs should be changed. It is imperative that children access these improvements to TB treatment without delay.
