Relationship between serum and saliva chloramphenicol concentrations

J R Koup et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1979 May.

Abstract

The relationship between serum and saliva chloramphenicol (CAP) concentrations was evaluated in 27 paired specimens collected from 20 hospitalized patients during therapy with the drug. A significant (R = 0.80, P < 0.001) but variable relationship was found to exist. Serum protein binding of CAP was also evaluated (43.7 +/- 5.7% bound; N = 24). Differences in CAP binding did not apparently account for a significant portion of the variability in the observed saliva/serum CAP concentration ratios. The degree of variation observed indicated that saliva CAP concentrations could not be relied upon for the prediction of serum CAP concentrations.
