Abstract

Objective: Favipiravir is recommended for treatment of COVID-19 by the Turkey National Treatment Guideline for COVID-19. It has been widely used for COVID-19 infected patients in Turkey. Fluorescence of the nails with certain topical and systemic drugs with Wood’s lamp was and reported in the English literature. This study is designed to determine the fluorescence effect of favipiravir in the nails of COVID-19 patients.

Özet

Amaç: Favipiravir, COVID-19 Türkiye Ulusal Tedavi Klavuzunda, COVİD-19 tedavisi için önerilmektedir. Türkiye’de COVID-19 ile enfekte hastalarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Belli topikal ve sistemik ilaçlar ilaçlarla tırnaklarda Wood lambası ile floresan yansıma bildirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 hastalarının tırnaklarında favipiravirin floresan etkisini belirlemek için tasarlanmıştır.
