[Ethambutol pharmacokinetics in pulmonary tuberculosis patients].

Specific features of ethambutol pharmacokinetics were studied in 53 patients with first detected pulmonary tuberculosis. Pharmacokinetic parameters were interpreted by using an one-part model with absorption. Pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, Me infinity were shown to be distributed according to a normal law of distribution of probabilities, Kel--according to a logarithmically normal law.
