🆕⚡🟢Pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenomic predictors of hepatotoxicity in the HIRIF trial for drug-susceptible tuberculosis Higher pyrazinamide and isoniazid exposures and slow NAT2 acetylator status were independently associated with hepatotoxicity. In multivariable analysis, only pyrazinamide exposure was associated with hepatotoxicity. Rifampicin exposure up to 20 mg/kg/day was not associated with hepatotoxicity, supporting its safe use. #IDXposts academic.oup.com/cid/article…

Today is #WorldAspergillosisDay - you can help by sharing this link with any GPs you know NAC worked with MIMS to produce this CPD course for learning about #aspergillosis to help CPA and #ABPA be diagnosed and treated faster #respiratory #GPs #pulmonary #respisbest
Aspergillus is a mould that is often seen in damp homes, and exposure can lead to #aspergillosis. This module, by specialists from the National Aspergillosis Centre (@MFT_NAC), looks at the diagnosis and management of the condition. buff.ly/rDAuxW9
