Clinical Application of Inhaled Ciclesonide and Enoxaparin for COVID-19 Pneumonia

ABSTRACT

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a threat to global public health. The disease is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and characterized by high transmission, high mortality, lack of effective treatment, and prolonged hospitalization. Currently, there is no clear management strategy for COVID-19 infection. Some clinical evidence suggests that the use of inhaled ciclesonide and enoxaparin subcutaneous injection maybe helpful for disease treatment. In this article, we report the successful treatment of a 65-year-old male with COVID-19 pneumonia with Inhaled corticosteroid and enoxaparin subcutaneously, which also shortened the course of the disease without significant complications.
