Safety and Efficacy of Viusid and Asbrip in Hospitalized Patients Infected by SARS-Cov-2 With COVID-19

In December 2019, a group of "pneumonia of unknown origin" cases were reported in Wuhan, China. Only a few days later, Chinese health authorities confirmed that this group was associated with the coronavirus and that the disease caused by it was named Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) by the WHO. Confirmed by comparative homology analysis, COVID-19 is closely associated with the bat-like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (bat-SL-covzc45 and bat-SL-covzxc21, with 88% identity), but it is a far cry from coronavirus of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) (about 79%) and coronavirus from respiratory syndrome of the Middle East (MERS-CoV) (about 50%). The National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China reported a total of 77,658 confirmed cases, including 9,162 with serious illnesses and 2,663 deaths as of February 25, 2020.ç The new pathogen β-coronavirus was initially named as the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), but on January 12, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) named it coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Epidemiological reports demonstrated high infectivity from person to person in social, family, and hospital settings. Given this rapid increase in new cases worldwide, the WHO declared a pandemic state 13 The results of a meta-analysis showed that the most prevalent clinical symptom was fever (91.3%, 95% CI: 86-97%), followed by cough (67.7%, 95% CI: 59-76%), fatigue (51.0%, 95% CI: 34-68%) and dyspnea (30.4%, 95% CI: 21-40%). Comorbidities included hypertension, diabetes, respiratory system disease, and cardiovascular disease. For the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, a suspected or probable case is defined as a case that meets: (1) three clinical criteria or (2) two clinical criteria and one epidemiological criterion. The clinical criteria are: fever; radiographic evidence of pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome; and low or normal white blood cell count or low lymphocyte count. Epidemiological criteria are: living in Wuhan or history of travel to Wuhan within 14 days before the onset of symptoms; contact with patients with fever and symptoms of respiratory infection within 14 days prior to the onset of symptoms; and a link to confirmed cases or groups of suspected cases. Defining a confirmed case, for the first case in a province, is a suspected or probable case with detection of viral nucleic acid at city CDC and provincial CDC. For the second case and all subsequent cases, the definition is a suspected or probable case with detection of nucleic acid from the virus at CDC City. We defined the cases as symptomatic individuals, which could be detected by means of a control temperature across international borders, or who had a disease severity requiring hospital admission, or both, plus travel history to Wuhan. 14 In Ecuador in the city of Guayaquil, the Minister of Health, on February 29, 2020, confirmed the presence of the first "imported" case of Covid-19 in Ecuador. It was an Ecuadorian citizen who arrived from Spain on February 14 at the Guayaquil airport, who had no symptoms. Later days she presented discomfort and fever, reasons for which she was hospitalized and the respective tests were performed for Covid-19 disease, which was positive. On March 11, 2020, the WHO, the world health organization, officially declares the pandemic caused by the SARS VOC-2 virus and in Ecuador the Emergency Operations Committee is activated, in relation to this committee the following is detailed. The Emergency Operations Committees are components of the Decentralized National Risk Management System, which are responsible for planning and maintaining joint coordination and operation between different levels and functions of the institutions involved in the response and attention to emergencies and disasters in a field territorial defined. On March 12, 2020 two new people tested positive. In total, 19 cases of COVID-19 are registered in Ecuador, the following day the first person died from the coronavirus (COVID-19) occurred in Ecuador. On March 31, 2020, there were 2,240 positive cases for COVID-19, 3,257 suspected, 2,485 discarded from a total of 7,982 samples, 75 confirmed deaths; 61 probable deceased and 54 with hospital discharge. At the beginning of April 2020, the Minister of Public Health, Juan Carlos Zevallos, in a virtual press conference, announced that 100,000 rapid tests and 100,000 PCRs arrived in our country that will serve to expedite the results of the exams for COVID-19. Until the closing of this project, the records of the MSP indicated that on April 23, 2020, there were 11,183 confirmed cases and 560 people dead. The city of Guayaquil with a population of more than two million inhabitants with the increase in more positive and suspicious cases, became the epicenter of the pandemic at the national level, in this framework, the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Specialty Hospital located at In the south of the city, it is a third level hospital, since the aforementioned health crisis began with a high influx of patients suspected of covid-19. Current treatment for COVID-19 is supportive, and respiratory failure due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the leading cause of mortality. Ruan Q et al. Studied the predictors of mortality in a recent retrospective, multicenter study of 150 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, including elevated ferritin (mean 1297.6 ng / ml in non-survivors versus 614.0 ng / ml in survivors; p \<0 · 001) and IL-6 (p \<0 · 0001), suggesting that mortality could be due to viral hyperinflammation. There is an urgent need for effective treatment. The current focus has been on the development of new therapies, which include antivirals and vaccines. Accumulated evidence suggests that a subgroup of patients with severe COVID-19 may have cytokine storm syndrome. Objectives: Determine the safety and efficacy of Viusid + Asbrip in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. Keep security through identification, proper and timely management of adverse events and evaluation of biochemical parameters. Measure efficacy through clinical improvement: evaluation of radiological signs and blood analysis estableshed in this study.
