> – Det började komma rapporter om misstänkta svårare biverkningar än vi först trodde. Vi kan inte utesluta svåra biverkningar, framförallt från hjärtat, och det är ett svårdoserat läkemedel. Dessutom har vi inga starka bevis på att klorokin har effekt vid covid-19.
"There started coming reports about suspicious serious side-effects than we first thought. We can't conclude it doesn't have strong side-effects, particularly from the heart, and the drug is hard to dosage correct. Also, we don't have any strong evidence that Chloroquine has an effect with [SIC] covid-19"
Reporter asks: "Har ni haft fall med svåra biverkningar?" "Have you had cases with strong side-effects?"
Answer: "– Inte som jag känner till i Göteborg, men det finns rapporterat misstänkta fall från andra kliniker." "Not as far as I know in Gothenburg, but there is reports of suspicious cases from other clinics".
> Alla sjukhus i Västra Götalandsregionen följer Sahlgrenskas exempel. Men de är än så länge ganska ensamma. På de stora sjukhusen i Stockholm ges fortfarande klorokin.
"All hospitals in swedish region follows Sahlgrensk's example. But they are currently pretty alone. They still give patients Chloroquine in the big hospitals in Stockholm"
Let me know with a reply if you want other parts translated, bit busy but can at least provide this for now.
- bufferoverflow 7y agoSeriously, the title of the article doesn't match the contents. The article itself contains very little factual information. We need numbers.
- capableweb 7y agoThe submission title kind-of doesn't match with the article (name of hospital in the article but just "hospital" here on HN and side-effects is not mentioned in the article title at all), but the contents of the article does match with it's title. Title is "Sahlgrenska stoppar behandling med malariamedicin mot covid-19" Which means "Sahlgrenska (name of Swedish hospital) stops treatment with malaria-medicine against COVID-19", which is exactly what the article's content is about, and it goes further to look at other hospitals as well.
- wolfhumble 7y agoThanks! A tiny little edit: > Vi kan inte utesluta svåra biverkningar, framförallt från hjärtat >We can't conclude it doesn't have strong side-effects, particularly for the health . . . particularly for the health => particularly from the heart
- capableweb 7y agoIndeed! Was rushing a bit and made a typo, thanks for catching that. Updated the comment.
- robin_reala 7y ago“Swedish region” here doesn’t mean “Sweden”, it’s Västra Götaland which is a biggish county, just nestling under the southern tip of Norway. Biggest city is Gothenburg, total county population 1.75 million.
- capableweb 7y agoNo, I do know that, I just didn't want to try to translate Västra Götaland, but be my guest and I'll update my post :) In the meantime I'll update the comment to say Västra Götaland instead of `swedish region`. Edit: ugh, too late to edit. Hope it got the point across at least, I notice now that HN hides the earmuffs (*) I added and made it italics, might be why the point didn't always go across.
