Will Tuberculosis Be Defeated?: A Unique Remedy for Fighting the Disease Created in St. Petersburg

Analysis Takes No More Than 25 Minutes

A solvent for determining the amount of isoniazid (a key drug for treating tuberculosis) in blood plasma has been developed at St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU). This was reported by the university's press service.

The development will help to avoid patient addiction to the drug and facilitate the treatment process.

It is known that patients taking the same doses may have different concentrations of isoniazid in their blood plasma. This can lead to drug resistance. To solve the problem, an individual approach is needed within the framework of personalized medicine.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the production of a Russian tuberculosis test has been established in the Moscow region instead of the Mantoux test.
