Abstract

A mother and daughter pair with CF who shared a splice mutation (1717 - 1G → A) had a normal volume of distribution of tobramycin. The literature on tobramycin pharmacokinetics, which was published before the genetic defect was identified, is discussed. The authors speculate on the role of CFTR in the distribution of aminoglycosides and recommend that CFTR mutations should be clarified in all future studies of tobramycin pharmacokinetics in patients with CF.
