Doctors in Hong Kong and Canada are using the antiviral drug Ribavirin + steroid with varying degrees of success. Tests in the USA show no effect of Ribavirin on coronavirus in the laboratory but clinical experience in Hong Kong suggests it is effective in some patients.
New drugs are actively being tested now and we await any news of this development.
In USA only supportive treatments are given to patients but no specific drugs have
been given. Analysis and outcomes of treatment will have to be provided by the
clinicians treating SARS patients. This information is not available in detail yet.
