Abstract

Purpose Covid 19 pandemic has placed challenges in front of medical health sciences in terms of management, prevention and immunity building. Effectiveness of any medication has not conclusively proven; hence there is need for integrative management of covid 19. We have managed a critical case of covid-19 having history of thalassemia, hypothyroidism with integrative management of Ayurveda and modern medicine. Method A 59 years’ male patient with history of thalassemia had complaints of cough and breathlessness since 4 days. He performed RT PCR because he came in close contact with his daughters who were Covid positive. He was treated with Favipiravir at home for 5 days. He deteriorated on 6 th day with SPO 2 dropped to 75%, temp raised to 101 F and respiratory rate (RR) raised to 45/min. He was admitted in Yogeshwari Hospital Daund, Maharashtra; treated with oxygen inhalation, Remdesvir and Ayurveda medicines in intensive care unit (ICU). Ayurveda treatment protocol was advised through telemedicine. Result Significant improvement in clinical symptoms was observed and normal HRCT was observed after complete treatment. Conclusion This case report gives us further directions for integrative management in cases of Covid 19. Further clinical researches in this direction are warranted.
