TLDR
In this paper, the authors showed that plasma concentrations of isoniazid and rifampin were greatly reduced in diabetic tuberculosis patients, but not pyrazinamide and ethambutol concentrations.
Abstract
Plasma isoniazid and rifampin concentrations, but not pyrazinamide and ethambutol concentrations, were decreased by about 50% (P < 0.05) in diabetic pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The prevalences of subnormal plasma isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol concentrations were 49% or 100% (P < 0.01), 66% or 100% (P < 0.05), 30% or 50% (P = 0.198), and 32% or 21% (P = 0.742) in nondiabetic or diabetic tuberculosis patients, respectively. These data show that plasma concentrations of isoniazid and rifampin were greatly reduced in diabetic tuberculosis patients.

Impact of diabetes on the natural history of tuberculosis.

TL;DR: The mechanisms by which type 2 diabetes mellitus patients have a higher risk of Mtb infection and TB development, present with signs and symptoms indicative of a more infectious TB infection, and are more likely to have adverse TB treatment outcomes, including death are evaluated.

Optimizing treatment outcome of first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs: the role of therapeutic drug monitoring

TL;DR: There is a need to better define the key target PK and pharmacodynamic parameters for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of the first-line anti-TB drugs to be efficacious, Cmax (or area under the curve (AUC)) and Cmax/MIC (or AUC/MIC).

Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Rifampicin in Human Tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is encouraging that daily rifampicin doses up to 35 mg/kg were found to be safe and well-tolerated over a period of 12 weeks and high-dose rifampsicin should thus be considered in future studies when constructing potentially shorter regimens.

The early bactericidal activity of drugs in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Counts of colony-forming units of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum were done on selective medium during the first 2 wk of treatment of 124 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, and thiacetazone and p-aminosalicylic acid appeared to be only bacteriostatic.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in the Treatment of Tuberculosis

TL;DR: Low isoniazid concentrations were associated with poorer clinical and bacteriological outcomes in US Public Health Services (USPHS) TB Trial 22, suggesting that low concentrations of unbound rifapentine may have been responsible, in part, for the worse-than-anticipated performance of this drug in clinical trials.

Exposure to Rifampicin Is Strongly Reduced in Patients with Tuberculosis and Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: Exposure to rifampicin was 53% lower in Indonesian patients with tuberculosis and DM, compared with patients with TB only, and Linear regression analysis revealed that higher body weight, the presence of DM, and plasma glucose concentration were correlated with exposure to r ifampsicin.
