More anecdotal Hydroxychloroquine success
Mar 28, 2020, 7:46 AM
|

One of our neighbors is an elderly lady that is a naturalized US citizen from the Netherlands. For the past week she has been updating us on her older brother who was hospitalized in the Netherlands on 21 March with a bad case of COVID-19. On 23 March he was moved to the ICU as his health deteriorated to the point that he was edging towards death. The day he was moved into the ICU the attending physicians started him on the Hydroxychloroquine/Antiboitic treatment. Within 24 hours of the Hydroxychloroquine/Antiboitic regimen he was significantly better. On 26 March, just 3 days after starting the regimen, he had made such a significant turn around that the doctors released him from the hospital to finish his recovery at home.
This, of course, is another anecdotal case but at some point the old expression "if it's stupid but it works...then it's not stupid" comes to mind with this Hydroxychloroquine/Antiboitic treatment for COVID-19. I have yet to read or hear of a case of someone being treated with the Hydroxychloroquine/Antiboitic that has died - anyone seen any data on that?

The studies to date haven't demonstrated any of this. And chloroquine is incredibly toxic. The mild side-effects are anxiety, allergic reactions....the more serious ones are heart-related, leading to death. In other words, it might work, and in a small segment of people, it might work while not producing life-threatening side-effects. In the majority of people, it might be a toss-up as to whether this or the covid 19 kills you first.

A friend of mine’s wife has been taking this for years for arthritis.If you have a prescription or taking under a doctor’s supervision,it is not toxic.Some few could have a reaction but peanut butter and shellfish are deadly to some people as well.Seems to be helping and I have not heard of anyone dying from it.

abide by your wishes not to be treated with chloroquine. Personally, I'd take my chances since I have been prescribed chloroquine before.

From an ER MD in NOLA

“Plaquenil which has weak ACE2 blockade doesn't appear to be a savior of any kind in our patient population. Theoretically, it may have some prophylactic properties but so far it is difficult to see the benefit to our hospitalized patients, but we are using it and the studies will tell. With Plaquenil's potential QT prolongation and liver toxic effects (both particularly problematic in covid 19 patients), I am not longer selectively prescribing this medication as I stated on a previous post.
We are also using Azithromycin, but are intermittently running out of IV.”

You know far more than I.Is it true that anyone going to Africa where malaria is a problem have to take it or is that incorrect?

At least that's the way it was for me a few years ago when I went to Africa.
