Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as a treatment of COVID-19: results of an open-label non-randomized clinical trial.
Philippe Gautret,Jean-Christophe Lagier,Philippe Parola,Van Thuan Hoang,Line Meddeb,M. Mailhe,Barbara Doudier,Johan Courjon,Valérie Giordanengo,Vera Esteves Vieira,Hervé Tissot Dupont,Stéphane Honoré,Philippe Colson,Eric Chabrière,Bernard La Scola,Jean-Marc Rolain,Philippe Brouqui,Didier Raoult +17 more
TL;DR: Hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients and its effect is reinforced by azithromycin, which was significantly more efficient for virus elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viral RNA load as determined by cell culture as a management tool for discharge of SARS-CoV-2 patients from infectious disease wards.

TL;DR: Correlation between successful isolation of virus in cell culture and Ct value of quantitative RT-PCR targeting E gene suggests that patients with Ct above 33–34 using the RT- PCR system are not contagious and thus can be discharged from hospital care or strict confinement for non-hospitalized patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and microbiological effect of a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in 80 COVID-19 patients with at least a six-day follow up: A pilot observational study.
Philippe Gautret,Jean-Christophe Lagier,Philippe Parola,Van Thuan Hoang,Line Meddeb,Jacques Sevestre,Morgane Mailhe,Barbara Doudier,Camille Aubry,Sophie Amrane,Piseth Seng,Marie Hocquart,Carole Eldin,Julie Finance,Vera Esteves Vieira,Hervé Tissot-Dupont,Stéphane Honoré,Andreas Stein,Matthieu Million,Philippe Colson,Bernard La Scola,Véronique Veit,Alexis Jacquier,Jean Claude Deharo,Michel Drancourt,Pierre-Edouard Fournier,Jean-Marc Rolain,Philippe Brouqui,Didier Raoult +28 more
TL;DR: There is urgency to evaluate the effectiveness of this potentially-life saving therapeutic strategy at a larger scale, both to treat and cure patients at an early stage before irreversible severe respiratory complications take hold and to decrease duration of carriage and avoid the spread of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in recovered COVID-19 patients: a narrative review.
TL;DR: The clinical and epidemiological characteristics of these patients are summarized and the potential explanations for recurrences, the contagiousness of re-detectable positive SARS-CoV-2 virus, and the management of COVID-19 patients after discharge from hospital are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence of positive SARS-CoV-2 in patients recovered from COVID-19.
TL;DR: Considering the significance of this ongoing global public health emergency, it is necessary to carry out large studies to better understand the issue of potential SARS‐CoV‐2 recurrence in COVID‐19 patients.
