Sherman and Naaz Fatteh and Fabio Vogel and Jaime Sacks and J J Rajter}, journal={medRxiv}, year={2020} }
Abstract Importance: No therapy to date has been shown to improve survival for patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro but clinical response has not been previously evaluated. Objective: To determine whether Ivermectin is associated with lower mortality rate in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Design and Setting: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients hospitalized at four Broward Health hospitals in South…

Effectiveness of Ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 Patients
- Medicine
- 2020
Assessment of the efficacy of Ivermectin in mild cases of COVID-19 patients on the basis of predefined assessment criteria found no significant difference between case group who were given ivermECTin along with symptomatic treatment and control group, being asymptomatic on day 7 at follow up.
Ivermectin as an adjunct treatment for hospitalized adult COVID-19 patients: A randomized multi-center clinical trial
- Medicine
- 2020
Ivermectin as an adjunct reduced the rate of mortality, low O2 duration, and duration of hospitalization in adult COVID 19 patients and the improvement of other clinical parameters showed that the ivermECTin had a high therapeutic effect on COVID-19.
Efficacy of Ivermectin in COVID-19 Patients with Mild to Moderate Disease
- MedicinemedRxiv

Ivermectin for COVID-19 Treatment: Clinical Response at Quasi-Threshold Doses Via Hypothesized Alleviation of CD147-Mediated Vascular Occlusion
- MedicineSSRN Electronic Journal

The proposed catch and clump scenario for COVID-19 has a parallel in malaria, for which CD147 is central to the infectious process, and a significantly higher rate of capillary flow in younger people could explain a corresponding decreased severity of COIVD-19.
COVID-19: The Ivermectin African Enigma
- MedicineColombia medica

The incidence in mortality rates and number of cases is significantly lower among the APOC countries compared to non-APOC countries, suggesting that a mass public health preventive campaign against COVID-19 may have taken place, inadvertently, in some African countries with massive community ivermectin use.

Broad-spectrum agents for flaviviral infections: dengue, Zika and beyond
- BiologyNature Reviews Drug Discovery

Infections with flaviviruses, such as dengue, West Nile virus and the recently re-emerging Zika virus, are an increasing and probably lasting global risk, and broad-spectrum activity is particularly desirable to prepare for the next flaviviral epidemic.
Ivermectin is a specific inhibitor of importin α/β-mediated nuclear import able to inhibit replication of HIV-1 and dengue virus
- Biology, ChemistryThe Biochemical journal
- 2012
It is established for the first time that ivermectin has potent antiviral activity towards both HIV-1 and dengue virus, both of which are strongly reliant on importin α/β nuclear import, with respect to the HIV- 1 integrase and NS5 (non-structural protein 5) polymerase proteins respectively.
