title: [Deviation in cortisol metabolism induced by rifampicin. Therapeutic consequences in adrenal failure (author's transl)].
abstract: Deviation of cortisol metabolism in favour of its 6 beta-hydroxylated derivative was demonstrated in two patients with adrenal failure receiving substitution corticosteroid therapy and rifampicin. The existence of a frank increase in the metabolic clearance antipyrin was in favour of an hepatic enzyme induction. After rifampicin treatment was stopped, the 24 hour urinary excretion of 6 beta-OH-F returned to normal, demonstrating the responsability of the drug. This enzyme induction results in a need to increase the dose of hydrocortisone substitution therapy in patients with Addison's disease treated with rifampicin.
