Thailand sees apparent success treating coronavirus with drug cocktail

A Chinese woman infected with the new coronavirus showed a dramatic improvement after she was treated with a cocktail of anti-virals used to treat flu and HIV, Thailand's health ministry said.

The 71-year-old patient tested negative for the virus 48 hours after Thai doctors administered the combination, Dr Kriengsak Attipornwanich said during the ministry's daily press briefing.

“The lab result for coronavirus turned negative in 48 hours,” Kriengsak said. “From being exhausted before, she could sit up in bed 12 hours later.”

The doctors combined the anti-flu drug oseltamivir with lopinavir and ritonavir, anti-virals used to treat HIV, Kriengsak said, adding the ministry was awaiting research results to prove the findings.
