Antihistamine: No intervention is performed. We propose an observational study.
Amantadine: No intervention is performed. We propose an observational study
ACEI: No intervention is performed. We propose an observational study.
ARB: No intervention is performed. We propose an observational study.
Influenza vaccine and COVID: No intervention is performed. We propose an observational study.
Some authors have proposed the use of the flu vaccine to reduce the severity of COVID-19 cases, while some have proposed the use of ACE Inhibitors (ACEI) or Angiotensin Receptor blockers (ARB), since this virus shares hemagglutinin as a transmission mechanism and acts on the ACE2 enzyme during infection.
Other authors described how none of the elderly patients receiving antihistamines and azythromycin in two nursing homes in Toledo -Spain- during the first wave died or needed hospital admission, even considering that 100% of residents had a positive serological test after that wave. Other authors have described a positive evolution in patients receiving amantadine for their Parkinson's disease.
The aim is to evaluate whether the admitted patients who are previously vaccinated or those who were already receiving these treatments showed a better evolution.
