No effective treatment for COVID-19 has been well established yet. Nafamostat, known as anticoagulant, has potential anti-inflammatory and anti-viral activities against COVID-19. We report three cases of COVID-19 pneumonia who progressed while using antiviral drugs and needed supplementary oxygen therapy, improved after treatment with nafamostat. These preliminary findings show the possibility that Nafamostat can be considered to be used in elderly patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who need oxygen therapy. The effectiveness of nafamostat should be evaluated in further studies.
目前尚未确立针对 COVID-19 的有效治疗方法。那屈肝素作为一种抗凝剂,具有针对 COVID-19 的潜在抗炎和抗病毒活性。我们报告了三例 COVID-19 肺炎患者,他们在使用抗病毒药物时病情进展,需要补充氧疗,经那屈肝素治疗后得到改善。这些初步发现表明,那屈肝素可考虑用于需要氧疗的 COVID-19 肺炎老年患者。需要进一步研究评估那屈肝素的疗效。
