ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To the editor, Favipiravir (FVP) was developed against the influenza virus infection and licensed for the treatment of influenza in Japan [1]. In addition to influenza viruses, FVP demonstrates a broad-spectrum activity against many RNA viruses including Ebola, Lassa, rabies, and severe fever with thrombocytopenia [2]. FVP exhibited a comparable in vitro efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 with remdesivir in a cell culture model [3].DISCUSSION:
The authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of numerous physicians, nurses, and healthcare personnel of Hacettepe University's COVID-19 response team for their selfless efforts in follow-up and care of the patients. Authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.
