The penetration of anti-infectives into the central nervous system.
Neurologic Clinics 1999 November
The blood-brain barrier, blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier, and meninges are a complex and difficult-to-study system charged with protecting the central nervous system (CNS) from toxins, including drugs. Current estimates of CNS drug exposure are limited to CSF to blood ratios, of which area-under-the curve (AUC) estimates provide the most robust measure of drug exposure. Different classes of drugs and individual drugs within classes have different CNS penetration potential that is dependent upon a variety of biologic and pharmacologic factors. Clinical data (AUC and point ratios) regarding the penetration of several anti-infective agents used for the treatment of CNS infections are provided in this article.
