Therapeutical Options

Given the amount of scientific knowledge produced and published daily about the new corovavirus, this study sought to review evidence on some of the drugs used to treat Acute Respiratory Infection Syndrome caused by the COVID-19 virus. Thus, antimalarials and antiparasitics were evaluated regarding chemical and pharmacological aspects, including mechanism of action, toxicity, adverse effects and recommendation for use in the treatment of COVID-19.

The Relationship

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of acute respiratory infection. There is an excess of respiratory infections and deaths in schizophrenia, a condition where vitamin D deficiency is especially prevalent. This potentially offers a modifiable risk factor to reduce the risk for and the severity of respiratory infection in people with schizophrenia, although there is as yet no evidence regarding the risk of COVID-19. In this narrative review, we describe the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in schizophrenia, report the research examining the relationship between vitamin D levels and COVID-19 and discuss the associations between vitamin D deficiency and respiratory infection, including its immunomodulatory mechanism of action.
