It is not always possible to administer antituberculosis pharmacotherapy orally for reasons that may be a direct consequence of tuberculosis itself. To our knowledge, no published literature is available regarding antituberculosis drug absorption via feeding tube. We present the case of a patient with tuberculosis meningitis who required medication administration via percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ) tube. Blood samples were collected during the continuation phase of antituberculosis therapy, immediately before dose administration and then at 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours after dose administration for quantification of serum rifampin concentrations. Assaying these concentrations by high-pressure liquid chromatography demonstrated a peak serum rifampin level (Cmax ) of 18 μg/mL and total rifampin exposure (area under the curve from 0-6 hours [AUC0-6 ]) of 50.1 μg/mL. These are high compared with rifampin Cmax and AUC0-6 values reported in patients after oral rifampin administration, with studies reporting average Cmax values in the range of 4.0-10.5 μg/mL, and AUC0-6 values 7.0-52.9 μg/mL after oral administration of 600 mg at steady state.. Based on our patient's results therefore, rifampin administered by PEJ tube appears to be well absorbed, with preservation of adequate Cmax and AUC values. It is worth noting that this was in the context of drug administration in the fasted state. In the absence of any published evidence of adequate absorption via jejunal feeding tube in the nonfasted state, it would seem prudent to ensure that PEJ-fed patients are fasted when oral rifampin is administered, just as patients are when oral rifampin is administered. This report represents the first documented evidence, to our knowledge, of adequate rifampin absorption when administered via PEJ tube and provides important reassurance for health care providers, patients, and families facing similar clinical scenarios.
