Clinical efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in patients with covid-19 pneumonia who require oxygen: observational comparative study using routine care data
Feb
3 Since time is critical, and no treatment except dexamethasone has been proven to decrease
Food and Drug Administration, also called the FDA, allowed emergency use of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat
This targeted update includes data from RCTs and quasi-experimental studies comparing the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine (with or without a macrolide) with standard care as a treatment for COVID-19
With the combined effect of a variety of both non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors, including ageing, genetic predisposition, gender, obesity, injury or trauma, this burdensome disease is becoming more prevalent, with the estimated
Methods We used data collected from routine care of all adults in 4 French hospitals with documented
The original report of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid-19 described 26 patients who had been treated in an open-label, single-group study that involved contemporaneous, but Here, we randomized 53 patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to hydroxychloroquine therapy (at a dose of 400 mg twice daily for seven days) in addition to standard care or Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are both 4-aminoquinoline agents that have been used for more than 70 and 50 years, respectively, to prevent or to treat malarial infections and later also for treating discoid and systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis

While HCQ is likely to have the ability to control the CRS, suppress hyperactive immune responses and Among 26 patients who received hydroxychloroquine, 6 were lost during follow-up because of early cessation of treatment, and of the remaining patients, at day 6 after treatment, 70% (14/20) were virologically “cured” compared with 12
