The use of a rifamycin in anti-tuberculosis treatment regimens is crucial for shortening treatment and achieving favorable cure and relapse rates; rifampin is the recommended rifamycin. Adverse effects (AE) related to rifampin may require its discontinuation. Although rifabutin is a rifamycin with activity against M. tuberculosis and a different AE profile than rifampin, its use in patients with a rifampin-related AE is not well studied. We reviewed our experience with rifabutin in the treatment of tuberculosis. We reviewed tuberculosis cases (2003–2009) who received rifabutin in their treatment regimen. We evaluated the indications for rifabutin use; for patients that experienced a drug-related AE, we categorized the likelihood that the AE was rifampin-related. Using logistic regression analysis, we identified rifampin-related AEs associated with rifabutin intolerance. One hundred subjects met inclusion criteria. The indications for rifabutin use were a rifampin-related AE in 57 patients (57%), concurrent anti-retroviral therapy (21%), a potential/actual interaction with other medications (14%), and as part of an alternative regimen due to liver disease (8%). Of patients with a prior rifampin-related AE, 80% were successfully treated with rifabutin. Nineteen patients experienced an AE while taking rifabutin. Among patients with a previous rifampin-related AE, only a dermatologic AE was associated with subsequent rifabutin intolerance. Our study suggests that rifabutin is well tolerated by patients who develop rifampin-related AEs. Patients who experienced a rifampin-related dermatologic event may be at increased risk for a rifabutin-related AE.
