It's worth reading the case history in its entirety, which describes in detail the progression of the illness in the patient and steps taken by the hospital. This is the first time I've seen a detailed account and AFAIK there haven't been any others yet.
- fspeech 7y agoInitially the patient appeared to have a light case but then took quite a bad turn.
- Brave-Steak 7y agoYeah, it's a bit scary. What I'm not sure about is how much the remdesivir helped with the recovery (and how) or if he would have recovered anyway.
- fspeech 7y agoUnderstood. The fact that the patient took that bad turn and then immediately recovered after taking remdesivir is very suggestive. If his case stayed light throughout then yeah it would have been hard to tell. BTW remdesivir is highly anticipated to be the candidate drug so this is not totally unexpected. The other good thing is that it has already been tested on human subjects (for Ebola with ineffective result) so it is known to be relatively safe.
