The optimal efavirenz dosage is still unclear. Our randomized control trial study recently reported the similar efavirenz level between efavirenz 600 and 800 mg/day in HIV-infected patients receiving rifampicin. We report the similar virological and immunological outcomes at 48 weeks between the two groups. Efavirenz 600 mg/day should be sufficient for concurrent use with rifamipicin.Mahidol UniversityImmunology and MicrobiologyMedicineEfavirenz 600 mg/day versus efavirenz 800 mg/day in HIV-infected patients with tuberculosis receiving rifampicin: 48 Weeks resultsArticleSCOPUS10.1097/01.aids.0000196181.18916.9b
