This is an observational study that will examine the pretomanid pharmacokinetics (PK) in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Dynamic 18F-pretomanid PET/CT will be performed after intravenous injection of 18F-pretomanid to determine multi-compartment, noninvasive determination of pretomanid PK in TB patients.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
10
A bolus of less than or equal to 10 mCi (370 MBq) of 18F-pretomanid will be injected into the intravenous line by slow IV push. Immediately after administration of 18F-pretomanid, dynamic PET acquisition will take place.

Biodistribution of 18F-pretomanid
Exposures in infected sites (pneumonia, cavitary lesions, etc.) will compared with the uninfected compartments. Standard units such as area under the curve (AUC) or AUC ratios will be utilized.
Time frame: Up to 4 hours
