Seventeen drugs, one sample: analyzing multiple anti-TB drugs simultaneously using one method
In conclusion, we developed a method to analyze 17 anti-TB drugs simultaneously in one sample of plasma, serum or saliva: all first-line, BPaLM, and 9m all oral regimen for MDR/RR-TB drugs, and 63% of the longer MDR-TB regimen drugs. This method will save time and will further optimize therapeutic drug monitoring. (Source: European Respiratory Journal)
