Aims: Patients hospitalized at the time of human immunodeficiency virus-associated tuberculosis (HIV-TB) diagnosis have high early mortality. We hypothesized that compared to outpatients, there would be lower anti-TB drug exposure in hospitalized HIV-TB patients, and amongst hospitalized patients exposure would be lower in patients who die or have high lactate (a sepsis marker). Methods: We performed pharmacokinetic sampling in hospitalized HIV-TB patients and outpatients. Plasma rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide concentrations were measured in samples collected predose and at 1, 2.5, 4, 6 and 8 hours on the third day of standard anti-TB therapy. Twelve-week mortality was ascertained for inpatients. Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis was performed. Results: Pharmacokinetic data were collected in 59 hospitalized HIV-TB patients and 48 outpatients. Inpatient 12-week mortality was 11/59 (19%). Rifampicin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide exposure was similar between hospitalized and outpatients (maximum concentration [Cmax]: 7.4 vs 8.3 $μ$g mL–1, P =.223; 3.6 vs 3.5 $μ$g mL–1, P =.569; 50.1 vs 46.8 $μ$g mL–1, P =.081; area under the concentration–time curve from 0 to 8 hours: 41.0 vs 43.8 mg h L–1, P = 0.290; 13.5 vs 12.4 mg h L–1, P =.630; 316.5 vs 292.2 mg h L–1, P =.164, respectively) and not lower in inpatients who died. Rifampicin and isoniazid Cmax were below recommended ranges in 61% and 39% of inpatients and 44% and 35% of outpatients. Rifampicin exposure was higher in patients with lactate \textgreater2.2 mmol L–1. Conclusion: Mortality in hospitalized HIV-TB patients was high. Early anti-TB drug exposure was similar to outpatients and not lower in inpatients who died. Rifampicin and isoniazid Cmax were suboptimal in 61% and 39% of inpatients and rifampicin exposure was higher in patients with high lactate. Treatment strategies need to be optimized to improve survival.
