The antibacterial spectrum of moxifloxacin includes all the major respiratory pathogens, and its pharmacokinetics demonstrate high peak concentrations in plasma as well as at respiratory sites. Nevertheless, tonsillar tissue concentrations have never been investigated. In this study we determined the moxifloxacin concentrations in plasma and tonsillar tissue after the administration of three doses of moxifloxacin 400 mg to adult patients with chronic or recurrent tonsillitis undergoing tonsillectomy.
