Resumen

CHACON ACEVEDO, Kelly et al. Efficacy and safety of chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in patients with COVID-19: Summary of evidence. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2020, vol.7, suppl.2, pp.21-41.  Epub 08-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2500-5006.  https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.7.supl.2.469.

Introduction:

The COVID-19 disease is a health emergency; treatment has not yet been proven.

Objective:

To present the available evidence of efficacy and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in the prophylaxis and management of patients with COVID-19.

Methods:

A rapid literature review was performed; we consulted Medline, scopus and pubmed databases.

Results:

Eleven publications were included including rapid literature reviews, observational studies, and clinical trials. No data were found studying prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for SARS-CoV-2. Reports of adverse events include episodes of emesis, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, rash, and itching.

Conclusions:

The evidence collected suggests that the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin in patients with COVID-19, could abnormal electrocardiogram and increased risk of mortality in-hospital. The effectiveness remains unclear.
