Different and several public health strategies have been planned to reduce transmission of pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2 since it started. None drugs have been confirmed as able to prevent viral transmission. Hydroxychloroquine with its immunomodulatory properties has been proposed as potential anti-viral drug in particular for prevention once viral exposure has been happen or in first phases of infection. Furthermore, in several immunological systemic disease hydroxychloroquine was able to reduce the number of thrombotic complications. So, because COVID-19 was associated to immunological imbalance and to thrombotic complications, we retrospectively analyzed the rate of infection in those patients being under treatment with this drug during COVID-19 epidemic outbreak from 8 March until 28 April in particular comparing those with pre-exposure to this treatment and those that were not taking this medication before SARS-CoV-2 viral infections.
自 SARS-CoV-2 开始以来,已经制定了不同的和几种公共卫生策略来减少其传播。目前还没有药物被证实能够预防病毒传播。羟氯喹具有免疫调节特性,被提议作为一种潜在的抗病毒药物,特别是在病毒暴露或感染的早期阶段用于预防。此外,在几种免疫性系统性疾病中,羟氯喹能够减少血栓并发症的数量。因此,由于 COVID-19 与免疫失衡和血栓并发症有关,我们回顾性分析了在 COVID-19 疫情爆发期间(从 3 月 8 日至 4 月 28 日)正在接受该药治疗的患者的感染率,特别是比较了那些有暴露于该治疗的患者和那些在 SARS-CoV-2 病毒感染前没有服用这种药物的患者。
