To the Editor: Malabsorption of antimycobacterial drugs has been reported in one person with AIDS coinfected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 26 patients with AIDS coinfected with M. avium complex^1,2,3.

We reviewed the serum concentrations of antimycobacterial drugs in all samples submitted to our laboratory between January 1 and July 31, 1993 (approximately 1100 assays). Serum concentrations were determined primarily by high-performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography. All assays were extensively validated and were specific for the drugs of interest . . .
