Concept

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

This uncontrolled, non-comparative, observational study was conducted in the University Hospital Institute Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, France, in March 2020. From observing and treating a cohort of 80 mild COVID-19 patients and concurrently evaluating the synergy between hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM) in vitro, researchers saw a rapid decline in nasopharyngeal viral load and a decrease in viral carriage duration.
