Popis: | Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a known disease-modifying antirheumatic drug for rheumatoid arthritis. It is also being used in viral arthritis on many occasions. HCQ is also being used to treat coronavirus disease 2019, but the results are not satisfactory. HCQ has been shown to have antiviral effects. In this context, we have a hypothesis that HCQ may be used as a treatment option in post-coronavirus disease 2019 arthritis. |
