Azithromycin in viral infections

Madeleine E. Oliver et al.

Summary: Azithromycin is a synthetic macrolide antibiotic with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, being investigated as a potential treatment for SARS-CoV-2. It has shown to reduce replication of various viruses and enhance anti-viral responses, while also possessing anti-inflammatory effects. More randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy in treating COVID-19.

P. W. Horby et al.

Summary: Azithromycin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 due to its immunomodulatory actions. However, a study in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 showed that azithromycin did not improve survival or other clinical outcomes. Its use should be restricted to patients with a clear antimicrobial indication.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on antimicrobial consumption in 66 hospitals in Catalonia. Results showed that the consumption of most antimicrobials deviated from the expected trend pattern, with a worrisome increase in antibacterial and antifungal consumption observed in ICUs in Catalonia. Overall, while ICU consumption of antibacterial and antimycotic decreased, their use in terms of DDD/100 discharges increased.
