Two reviewers put up protective medical masks, when they came out of Msstvy in Al Khobar in the Eastern Province, where the Ministry of Health announced yesterday for the death of 3 new patients (Reuters)
Riyadh: Fahad Theyabi of the
number of deaths rose in Saudi Arabia due to the virus 'Corona' to 21 cases after registering three new cases yesterday for three people aged between 63 and 85 years old entered the hospital 20 days ago, some of them suffering from complications of kidney failure.
He told «Middle East» Dr. Abdullah Asiri, Director of Infection Control at the Ministry of Health that the results of the examination 40 new sample of persons suspected infected with the virus revealed they are free of the disease, which is a positive indicator, and that the treatment protocol patients began taking nature united with doctors, where the patient is given anti-viral similar to those that are granted to holders of hepatitis 'C'.

He explained that those antibiotics average impact and some have complications, particularly among awarded for patients with renal failure, which leads to reduce the amount of their blood, which forces them to stop them in case of inflammation of the lungs or the deterioration of its functions.

He added that dialysis patients cared especially vital as measured by their scores before the start of the washing process, and if the patient's temperature exceeded 37.8 degrees Celsius them are isolated in a room alone and take a sample of it to check it.

He said he has not yet come to a drug he can handle the virus directly due to mutate continued, stressing that the process of finding the reasons for the presence of disease in Saudi Arabia are still ongoing not over yet by scientists from the United States and the central laboratory in Germany, while not over the results of the analysis of samples that have been obtained from the bats in the province of Al-Ahsa that have been moved to the outside through the specialized medical coolers at 80 degrees below zero, where the virus can not move or reproduction at this temperature.

He said that the rise steadily in temperature can lead to a decline in the virus and perhaps his disappearance just as happened in previous experiences, at which time the temperature that live where 4 degrees and die at more than 30 degrees, stressing the need areas Qassim, Al-Ahsa and Dammam to support because most of the and injuries occurred.

The number of samples that have been taken to make sure they are free from virus infections «Corona» to 900 sample since September of 2012, has proven laboratory tests injuring more than 33 cases, and subjected 21 people to death, and continue the incubation period of the disease 4 days subject which the viral treatment through antibiotics in intensive care rooms.

Re: Saudi Arabia - A media report of MOH official on nCoV coronavirus treatment protocol

It would be interesting to have details about the treatment protocol followed in some of these cases.

The combo therapy likely contains ribavirin and / or interferons, from what is referred in the above newswire about a similar therapy used in Hepatitis C patients.

Inhibition of novel b coronavirus replication by a combination of interferon-a2b and ribavirin
Darryl Falzarano, Emmie de Wit, Cynthia Martellaro, Julie Callison, Vincent J. Munster & Heinz Feldmann

The identification of a novel b coronavirus, nCoV, as the causative agent of severe respiratory illness in humans originating in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan has raised concerns about the possibility of a coronavirus pandemic similar to that of SARS-CoV. As a definitive treatment regimen has never been
thoroughly evaluated for coronavirus infections, there is an urgent need to rapidly identify potential therapeutics to address future cases of nCoV. To determine an intervention strategy, the effect of interferon-a2b and ribavirin on nCoV isolate hCoV-EMC/2012 replication in Vero and LLC-MK2 cells was
evaluated. hCoV-EMC/2012 was sensitive to both interferon-a2b and ribavirin alone in Vero and LLC-MK2 cells, but only at relatively high concentrations; however, when combined, lower concentrations of interferon-a2b and ribavirin achieved comparable endpoints. Thus, a combination of interferon-a2b and ribavirin, which are already commonly used in the clinic, may be useful for patient management in the event of future nCoV infections.

Do we know exactly who the source was - hard to tell from the grammar in the translation(?) of the article - Dr Abdullah Asiri, Dir. Infection Control at the Saudi Arabian MOH?

Would be great for this protocol to be provided - ahead of a research paper - as soon as possible.
 
Re: Saudi Arabia - A media report of MOH official on nCoV coronavirus treatment protocol

It does appear that Dr. Abdullah Asiri, Director of Infection Control at the Ministry of Health is quoted for the article.
