Abstract
Uveitis occurred in a substantial proportion of AIDS patients receiving rifabutin, 600 mg daily, together with clarithromycin and ethambutol for treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex bacteremia. A case-control study was undertaken to examine potential risk factors for developing uveitis. Of eight parameters examined, only baseline body weight predicted the development of uveitis by both univariate and multivariate analyses (P = .001). The incidence of uveitis was 14% in patients weighing >65 kg, 45% in patients between 55 and 65 kg, and 64% in patients <55 kg. Concomitant therapy with fluconazole, a drug known to raise serum rifabutin concentrations, was not associated with an increased incidence of uveitis. The risk of uveitis was markedly reduced when rifabutin was given at 300 mg daily in combination with clarithromycin and ethambutol.
