The unprecedented scale of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has driven considerable investigation into novel antiviral treatments since effective vaccination strategies cannot completely eradicate the virus. Apitherapy describes the medicinal use of bee venom, which may be an effective treatment against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Bee venom contains chemicals that are antimicrobial and stimulate the immune system to counteract viral load. The present review focuses on the use of bee venom as a possible treatment for COVID-19 and reviews studies on the pharmacodynamics of bee venom.
由于有效的疫苗接种策略无法完全根除新冠病毒，SARS-CoV-2大流行的规模空前，促使人们对新型抗病毒治疗方法进行了大量研究。蜂疗描述的是蜂毒的药用，它可能是治疗SARS-CoV-2感染的有效方法。蜂毒含有具有抗菌作用的化学物质，并能刺激免疫系统以对抗病毒载量。本综述重点关注蜂毒作为治疗新冠肺炎的一种可能方法，并对蜂毒的药效学研究进行了综述。
