HCQ was significantly associated with reduction / elimination of viral load, which was enhanced with AZ. Updated 8/13: responses to this paper have raised methodological issues [sciencedirect.com, sciencedirect.com (B), sciencedirect.com (C)].
Despite the limitations, this early observational study was a milestone in the discovery process, including detailed daily evolution of PCR positivity. This study should be viewed in the context of the series of studies from this group.
An update to this paper, including originally excluded patients, confirms the effectiveness of HCQ+AZ on viral clearance and early discharge [sciencedirect.com (D)]. Also see [sciencedirect.com (E)] and the response from the authors [sciencedirect.com (F)]. This study is excluded in the after exclusion results of meta analysis: excessive unadjusted differences between groups; results only for PCR status which may be significantly different to symptoms.

We evaluate the effect of hydroxychloroquine on respiratory viral loads. Patients and methods: French Confirmed COVID-19 patients were included in a single arm protocol from early March to March 16th , to receive 600mg of hydroxychloroquine daily and their viral load in nasopharyngeal swabs was tested daily in a hospital setting. Depending on their clinical presentation, azithromycin was added to the treatment. Untreated patients from another center and cases refusing the protocol were included as negative controls. Presence and absence of virus at Day6-post inclusion was considered the end point. Results: Six patients were asymptomatic, 22 had upper respiratory tract infection symptoms and eight had lower respiratory tract infection symptoms. Twenty cases were treated in this study and showed a significant reduction of the viral carriage at D6-post inclusion compared to controls, and much lower average carrying duration than reported in the litterature for untreated patients. Azithromycin added to hydroxychloroquine was significantly more efficient for virus elimination. Conclusion: Despite its small sample size, our survey shows that hydroxychloroquine treatment is significantly associated with viral load reduction/disappearance in COVID-19 patients and its effect is reinforced by azithromycin. © 2020 Published by Elsevier B.V.
