ABSTRACT
The cycloserine concentrations in plasma and bone that were collected during operations on 28 osteoarticular tuberculosis (TB) patients treated daily with a 500-mg cycloserine-containing regimen were determined. The median concentrations in plasma and bone were 16.29 µg/mL (interquartile range [IQR], 6.47 µg/mL) and 24.33 µg/g (IQR, 14.68 µg/g), respectively. The median bone/plasma penetration ratio was 0.76 (range, 0.33 to 1.98). Cycloserine could effectively penetrate bone and acquire concentrations comparable to those in plasma, which favors its usage in osteoarticular TB treatment.
