Immediate effects of tobramycin on human cochlea and correlation with serum tobramycin levels.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrocochleography was performed on three patients to monitor the intravenous administration of tobramycin. When peak serum tobramycin levels exceeded 8-10 mug/ml an immediate dramatic reduction in cochlear output was observed, which recovered fully as serum levels fell. The patients had no auditory or vestibular symptoms either during or after treatment.

Comparison of radioimmunoassay with a new immunofluorescent method (FIAX) for measuring tobramycin in serum.
A new immunofluorescent method (FIAX) was compared with a radioimmunoassay procedure for the determination of tobramycin serum concentrations. When assaying three tobramycin control sera repeatedly, within-run and run-to-run variations by the FIAX method were all within acceptable limits, and no statistically significant differences were found. Results of 155 sera from patients who had been tre...
متن کاملComparison of enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique with fluorescence polarization immunoassay for determination of gentamicin and tobramycin levels in serum.
We assayed serum gentamicin and tobramycin specimens by the enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique (Syva EMIT) and the fluorescence polarization immunoassay (Abbott TDx). When interassay and intraassay control samples were evaluated, both methods gave an overall coefficient of variation of less than +/- 10%. Using patient serum samples, we obtained excellent correlation with both methods in th...

We prospectively investigated a consecutive series of ten patients undergoing a cemented primary total hip replacement (THR) for osteoarthritis in order to establish the elution characteristics of Simplex-tobramycin bone cement (Howmedica, Limerick, Ireland). Specimens of blood, urine and drainage fluid were collected for 72 hours postoperatively. Very high concentrations of tobramycin were fou...
متن کاملSystemic absorption of nasally administered tobramycin and colistin in patients with cystic fibrosis.
OBJECTIVES In cystic fibrosis (CF) patients the paranasal sinuses can constitute a niche for bacteria, which can migrate to the lungs. Nasal administration of antibiotics may be effective, but safety of this treatment has to be established first. The objective of this study was to investigate the systemic absorption of nasally administered tobramycin, colistin (administered as colistin sulfomet...
