I am not saying that HCQ with or without other therapeutics is of benefit or not. I am just reporting every study I can find
You must have missed this one.
62 patients were identified as having COVID-19 and enrolled in this study, none quit (Figure 1). As shown in Table 1, For all patients, the age was 44.7 (15.3) years old, 46.8% (29 of 62) were male and 53.2% (33 of 62) were female. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups. There was no significant difference in the age and sex distribution between the two groups of patients, but there are significant differences in TTCR between the two groups. For fever, 17 patients in the control group and 22 patients in the HCQ treatment group had a fever in day 0. Compared with the control group [3.2 (1.3) days], the body temperature recovery time was significantly shortened in the HCQ treatment group [2.2 (0.4) days]. For cough, 15 patients in the control group and 22 patients in the HCQ treatment group had
a cough in day 0, The cough remission time was significantly reduced in the HCQ treatment group. Notably, a total of 4 of the 62 patients progressed to severe illness, all of which occurred in the control group not receiving HCQ treatment. For adverse effects, it should be noted that there were two patients
with mild adverse reactions in the HCQ treatment group, one patient developed a rash, and one patient experienced a headache, none severe side effects appeared among them.
To further explore the effect of HCQ on pneumonia, we compared and analyzed the chest CT of patients on day 0 and day 6. In our study, pneumonia was improved in 67.7% (42/62) of patients, with 29.0% moderately absorbed and 38.7% significantly improved. Surprisingly, a larger proportion of patients with improved pneumonia in the HCQ treatment group (80.6%, 25 of 31) compared with the control group (54.8%, 17 of 31). Besides, 61.3% of patients in the HCQ treatment group had a significant pneumonia absorption.
