Japanese flu drug 'clearly effective' in treating coronavirus, says China
Medical authorities in China have said a drug used in Japan to treat new strains of influenza appeared to be effective in coronavirus patients, Japanese media said on Wednesday.
Zhang Xinmin, an official at China’s science and technology ministry, said favipiravir, developed by a subsidiary of Fujifilm, had produced encouraging outcomes in clinical trials in Wuhan and Shenzhen involving 340 patients.
“It has a high degree of safety and is clearly effective in treatment,” Zhang told reporters on Tuesday.
Patients who were given the medicine in Shenzhen turned negative for the virus after a median of four days after becoming positive, compared with a median of 11 days for those who were not treated with the drug, public broadcaster NHK said.
In addition, X-rays confirmed improvements in lung condition in about 91% of the patients who were treated with favipiravir, compared to 62% or those without the drug.

Doctors in Japan are using the same drug in clinical studies on coronavirus patients with mild to moderate symptoms, hoping it will prevent the virus from multiplying in patients.
But a Japanese health ministry source suggested the drug was not as effective in people with more severe symptoms. “We’ve given Avigan to 70 to 80 people, but it doesn’t seem to work that well when the virus has already multiplied,” the source told the Mainichi Shimbun.
French researcher posts successful Covid-19 drug trial
Professor Didier Raoult from infection hospital l'Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire (IHU) Méditerranée Infection in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), published a video explaining the trials on Monday March 16.
Professor Raoult is an infectious diseases specialist and head of the IHU Méditerranée Infection, who has been tasked by - and consulted by - the French government to research possible treatments of Covid-19.
He said that the first Covid-19 patients he had treated with the drug chloroquine had seen a rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious.
Chloroquine - which is normally used mainly to prevent and treat malaria - was administered via the named drug, Plaquenil.
The treatment was offered to 24 patients, who were among the first to become infected in the south east of France, and who had voluntarily admitted themselves to hospital for the process.
Patients were given 600mcg per day for 10 days. They were closely monitored, as the drug can interact with other medication, and cause severe side effects in some cases.
Professor Raoult said: “We included everyone who was in agreement [to be treated], which was almost everyone. Two towns in the protocol, Nice and Avignon, gave us [infected] patients who had not yet received treatment.
“We were able to ascertain that patients who had not received Plaquenil (the drug containing hydroxychloroquine) were still contagious after six days, but of those that had received Plaquenil, after six days, only 25% were still contagious.”
Chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine have previously been used to treat coronavirus patients in China, in ongoing Covid-19 clinical trials.
Kaletra, a US-based antiviral drug normally used to treat HIV, is another medicine that is being tested in the fight against Covid-19.
#2390 El Gobierno no ha dicho nada concretamente al respecto, pero a buen entendedor...
Numerosas veces han repetido que la situación es "dinámica", cambiante de un día para otro, y yo cada vez que les oigo decir eso a Sánchez, Robles o Illa, entiendo que están excusándose del 8M.
También hubo un guiño ayer u hoy diciendo que si "se tuviesen que volver a hacer las cosas, se harían diferentes". También entiendo ahí que se refieren a haber tomado medidas más duras antes y evitar esa llamada a "llenar las calles" que les va a perseguir mucho tiempo ahora.
#2381 Leer otros medios los leo, solo hay que ver la cantidad de artículos de El Mundo o ABC que he linkeado muchas veces por aquí. Pero es cierto que tal vez soy algo ingenuo creyéndome artículos sin hacer una segunda búsqueda sobre el tema.
#2404 Que se contagiaran la mujer de perro y pavlo ha sido demoledor y con el tiempo se vera, las mujeres de los dirigentes infectadas en el evento multitudinario que organizaron, arriesgando asi tanto al pueblo como al gobierno para posteriormente no pedir disculpas sino excusas
Y se les esta respetando por decencia hacia la situacion, cuando la cosa amaine se sacara la artilleria
Hoy parece que está tabla empieza a fallar , no ha ido mal hasta ahora . Claro que mucha gente no se ha hecho el test
#2410 en españa aun no hemos llegado al nivel de ''como des test negativo te pagas tu el test'' pero si, la mayoria por desgracia si
#2382 O se creen que somos imbéciles, o quieren alarmar a la gente como si fuera el ébola. Un 50% de ingresados sobre el número de infectados es ridículo. Que hagan más test o que cambien los baremos de infectados en relación a ingresados, porque están dando la sensación de que 1 de cada 2 españoles infectados tiene que ser ingresados, y el remedio es peor que la enfermedad.
#2417 Porque los datos son de ayer a las 21:00 así relativizando el tiempo van retrasando las malas noticias
#2417 me estas diciendo que han esperado a actualizar hasta que el bromas haya dado el dato por todas las televisiones?
#2411 Yo me esperaba que estos dias saliese alguna noticia de que la vieja del gif con Montero esta infectada o algo asi, que se ve que estornuda/tose al lado de la vieja y ahora que se sabe que esta infectada es un lol xD
Las tablas difícilmente se cumpliarán , pues los laboratorios estamos a tope de pruebas , nos entran muestras por tandas cada X horas , cientos y cientos. Con lo cual hay un tope de casos que se van a confirmar diariamente por test.
#2425 Cómo se sabe que una muestra de un test es positivo ? CUál es el procedimiento con el coronavirus ?
