Povidone-iodine and hydrogen peroxide could be effective in against SARS-CoV-2.
A "non-interventional trial" in 88 patients (43±17 yrs., 55% men) with SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swabs (RT-PCR). 31 received mouth rinses/gargling with povidone-iodine (every 8h, two consecutive days), 17 with mouth rinses/gargling of hydrogen peroxide, and 40 controls. Were repeated PCR in 3, 11 and 17 days.
After intervention the viral load (Log10 copies/ml) remained similar in povidone-iodine (4.3±2.7 copies/ml), hydrogen peroxide (4.6±2.9 copies/ml; p=0.40) and controls (4.4±3.0 copies/ml). The percentage of patients with a negative result in the second PCR was 27% in povidone-iodine group, 23% in hydrogen peroxide and 32% in controls; in the third PCR, 62%, 54% y 58% respectively; and in the fourth PCR, 81%, 75% y 81%.
Our results do not support the clinical usefulness of mouth rinses/gargling with povidone-iodine or hydrogen peroxide in patients with COVID-19.
聚维酮碘和过氧化氢可能对 SARS-CoV-2 有效。
对 88 例鼻咽拭子(RT-PCR)中 SARS-CoV-2 的患者进行了一项“非干预性试验”。31 例患者接受聚维酮碘漱口/含漱(每 8 小时一次,连续两天),17 例患者接受过氧化氢漱口/含漱,40 例患者为对照组。在第 3、11 和 17 天重复进行 PCR。
干预后,聚维酮碘组(Log10 拷贝/ml)病毒载量(4.3±2.7 拷贝/ml)、过氧化氢组(4.6±2.9 拷贝/ml;p=0.40)和对照组(4.4±3.0 拷贝/ml)相似。第二次 PCR 结果为阴性的患者百分比,聚维酮碘组为 27%,过氧化氢组为 23%,对照组为 32%;第三次 PCR 时,分别为 62%、54%和 58%;第四次 PCR 时,分别为 81%、75%和 81%。
我们的结果不支持 COVID-19 患者使用聚维酮碘或过氧化氢漱口/含漱的临床应用。
