Isoniazid acetylation metabolic ratio (MR) was studied in 61 children with tuberculosis after administration of isoniazid. MR was calculated as the molar acetylisoniazid to isoniazid concentration ratio. MR was used as a probe for N-acetyltransferase activity and to determine the acetylation phenotype. MR had a bimodal distribution with an antimode between 0.48 and 0.77. MR and the percentage of fast acetylators...
