pubblicato il 8 aprile 2020 alle ore 12:00
the task force of physicians at the Pascale and Cotugno hospitals in Naples are now testing the use of the medication Tocilizumab on patients affected by Coronavirus. The results are reassuring, the patients are improving their respiration. “We tried it on two patients and their respiration has been improving - tells to Fanpage.it dr. Paolo Ascierto, director of the oncological immunotherapy unit at the “Pascale” hospital in Naples - especially on one of the patients who was in the intensive care unit , and we are even thinking to extubate him. We will start using the medication on two more patients, this is not a medication that specifically is for CoVid 19, but it is useful to prevent some of the side effects given by some immunotherapy medications. Our Chinese colleagues tested it on 21 patients and 20 out of them had good results. The chinese think that, if given on time, it can prevent the patients from needing intensive care.
