Title: Ozone Therapy for Successful Treatment of Patients with COVID-19

Abstract

Aim. 
Our team actively seeks to develop new approaches for treating patients with COVID-19. The first reports about COVID-19 came out in China in 2019. It was recognized by WHO as a pandemic crisis on March 11, 2020. Current therapeutic protocols for COVID-19 vary from one country to another and new comprehensive approaches are being actively studied.
Material and methods. 
We have implemented ozone therapy into clinical practice as an adjuvant treatment regimen for patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. In our study, 19 patients received ozone therapy and 18 patients were part of the control group. All patients had a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 infection and were matched by the  following features: sex, age, severity of symptoms, imaging data and clinical history. Patients in the study group received ozone therapy in the form of daily intravenous infusions of ozonized physiological solution. We used the ozone concentration 2.2-2.4 mg/l.
Conclusion. 
We observed a statistically significant improvement in laboratory, radiological and clinical data of patients in the study group compared to the control group on the 14th day. Thus, we have demonstrated the benefits of using ozone therapy in patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Taking into consideration the physiological processes underlying such approach, ozone therapy should be used to treat patients on both phases: the beginning and at the peak of the disease.
