Abstract We describe a combined gas-chromatographic mass-spectrometric method for determination of theophylline in whole blood. With use of a probability-based matching approach, the extensive gas-chromatographic interference did not affect mass-spectrometric quantitation of theophylline. Concentrations expected and found were linearly related from 1 to 60 mg/liter; the run-to-run coefficient of variation was less than 8%, within-run less than 6%. Some other xan-thines and drugs frequently co-administered with theophylline did not affect results. Only 0.2 ml of blood is required, which makes the procedure useful for monitoring theophylline in newborns and pediatric populations.
