Background: Isoprinosine is an immunomodulator that is now being used to treat Covid-19 patients. Objectives: To evaluate Isoprinosine with Favipiravir or Oseltamivir in moderate Covid-19. Methods: In a retrospective observational analysis, in-hospital moderate Covid-19 patients treated between June 2020 and June 2021 were included. Results: Inclusion criteria for 364 patients were met, with 135 receiving Favipiravir-Isoprinosine (Group 1) and 229 receiving Oseltamivir-Isoprinosine (Group 2). In group 1, the majority of patients (58.50%) were female (35.60%), had no comorbidities (71.60%), were discharged with a positive PCR (74.80%), did not require a breathing apparatus (99.26%), had leukocyte levels between 4,5-11,0 (82.22%), lymphocyte levels between 25-33 (34.07%), and were discharged with no ground-glass opacity (34.07%) (54.10%), LOS was 9-13 days (50.37%), while the mortality rate was 0.70%. In group 2, the majority of patients were male (54.10%), with the highest age range being 42-56 years (35.80%), without comorbidities (69.0%), discharged with a positive PCR (72.50 %), and without the need for a breathing apparatus (99.13%), with leukocyte levels ranging from 4.5 – 11.0 (81.22 %), with lymphocyte levels ranging from 25.0 – 33.0 (26.20 %), and were discharged with no ground-glass opacity (49.34 %), LOS was 9 - 13 days (34.06 %), and the mortality rate was 0.87%.Conclusion: In this trial, it was determined that combining isoprinosine with antivirals favipiravir or Oseltamivir could produce significant clinical improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
