Ivermectin + AZT works!

The post link is to the abstract, which isn't interesting.

The PDF can be downloaded from here.

Go to the PDF to see the chest images of the patients' lungs, before and after administering ivermectin.

Summary:

[Comments in inside bracket like this one are my writing, adding context.]

The ivermectin-specific parts of the PDF:

Case 1:

[This patient was initially given 200 mg hydroxychloroquine, 500 mg azithromycin and a high dose vitamin C (3 g OD). His condition continued to deteriorate; eventually the patient was put on a ventilator and given drugs to maintain his blood pressure.]

Six hours after the administration of ivermectin, the patient showed clinical improvement. Blood pressure was improving with decreasing requirement of inotropes and his oxygen saturation raised to 100% [from 88% on the ventilator]. A repeat chest x-ray showed significant improvement. Blood test one day after also showed improvement with decreasing WBC at 15,360/ul, reducing D-dimer at 5.43 ug/ml and improving blood gas analysis with pH of 7.481, pCO2 of 39.4, pO2 of 143.9.

Case 2:

[Her heartbeat was 110bpm on admission]

One day after ivermectin administration, the patient showed immediate clinical improvement. Her heart rate has normalized at 92 bpm; she was less tachypneic with respiratory rate of 20-22 times per minute and her oxygen saturation improved at 98% with only 3 liters of nasal cannula [from 86% originally, 93% on the ventilator]. Her repeat chest x-ray also showed significant improvement. Blood test however, showed slight elevation of WBC at 11,270/ul and lymphopenia at 19%;but decreasing CRP at 15.4 mg/L. Her repeat IgG/IgM nCoV-2 was noted to be positive.

Case 3:

[Her initial temperature was 37.2 C = 98.96 F]

After ivermectin administration, her fever started to subside, and no further febrile episode was noted after. A follow-up chest x-ray also showed significant improvement.
