Abstract

A pandemia mundial do novo Corona Vírus- SARS-COV2 e seus elevados números de óbitos, trouxe a emergente necessidade de intervenção terapêutica para tratamento dos indivíduos infectados, além das medidas sanitárias e de medicina preventiva na transmissibilidade do vírus. Após de elucidados o ciclo de replicação e os fenômenos fisiopatológicos do desfecho fatal da infecção, diferentes esquemas terapêuticos foram considerados em toda comunidade de saúde dentre os quais, está o macrolídeo azitromicina. Já existem evidências de efeitos antivirais e imunomoduladores dessa droga. Com objetivo de revisar o papel da azitromicina no transcorrer clínico dos indivíduos infectados pelo SARS-COV2, foi realizada revisão integrativa nas plataformas PubMed, Scielo e Google Acadêmico com os indexadores “SARS-COV2”, “azithromycin”, “COVID” gerando 37 produções elegíveis de acordo com critérios. Até o momento não foi observado diferença significativa do emprego da azitromicina no desfecho clínico de paciente nos diferentes ensaios clínicos randomizados já realizados. Embora exista evidência in vitro do potenciais benefícios da azitromicina mediante infecção viral e profilaxia de pneumonia bactéria em vigência de SARS-COV2, não existem evidências sólidas que alicercem o seu implemento em diretrizes terapêuticas para controle de status clínico ou impedir sua evolução desfavorável.
