    Abstract Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), broke out in late 2019 to become a serious global threat to human health. In the absence of specific treatments for COVID-19, treatment options are being examined. Recently, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of tetracyclines, macrolide antibiotics, and ivermectin (IVM), have attracted considerable attention for their potential as a single or multi-drug treatment regimen. Moreover, tetracyclines, macrolide antibiotics, and IVM possess anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects to reduce the production of cytokines. COVID-19 is characterized by early exponential viral replication, cytokine storm-associated organ damage, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and thrombosis. Considering anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of the aforementioned drugs and corticosteroids, early treatment with doxycycline, azithromycin, IVM, and corticosteroids is thought to be the most promising option for combating COVID-19-induced ARDS.

    Abstract An outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which began in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has rapidly spread all over the world. The World Health Organization characterized the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) as a pandemic in March 2020. In the absence of specific treatments for the virus, treatment options are being examined. Drug repurposing is a process of identifying new therapeutic uses for approved drugs. It is an effective strategy to discover drug molecules with new therapeutic indications. This strategy is time-saving, low-cost, and has a minimal risk of failure. Several existing approved drugs such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, azithromycin, and ivermectin are currently in use because of their efficacy in inhibiting COVID-19. Multidrug therapy, such as a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, a combination of doxycycline and ivermectin, or a combination of ivermectin, doxycycline, and azithromycin, has been successfully administered. Multidrug therapy is efficacious because the mechanisms of action of these drugs differ. Moreover, multidrug therapy may prevent the emergence of drug-resistant SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that struck in late 2019 and early 2020 is a serious threat to human health. Since there are no approved drugs that satisfactorily treat this condition, all efforts at drug design and/or clinical trials are warranted and reasonable. Drug repurposing is a well-known strategy that seeks to deploy existing licensed drugs for newer indications and that provides the quickest possible transition from the bench to the bedside to meet therapeutic needs. At present, several existing licensed drugs such as chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, and remdesivir have been used because of their potential efficacy in inhibiting COVID-19. Recently, antibiotics such as tetracyclines and macrolides have been reported to be effective against COVID-19. A combination of tetracyclines and macrolides may be a potential treatment for COVID-19 because there are some differences in the mechanism of action of tetracyclines and macrolides.

    Abstract A 41-year-old man suffering from eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EPGA), diagnosed at another clinic on the basis of American College of Rheumatology Criteria, with a history of bronchial asthma, eosinophilia, mononeuritis multiplex, and non-fixed pulmonary infiltrates, was admitted to our department for further treatment. The patient complained of chest pain that started recently. An echocardiogram identified myocardial thickening and decreased wall motion, based on which the patient was diagnosed as having EPGA with myocarditis. The patient was successfully treated using glucocorticoids, such as methyl prednisolone (PSL) and PSL in combination with cyclophosphamide (CPM). However, CPM administration was discontinued afterwards because of the risk of bone marrow toxicity, the increased eosinophilic count (EOC) that we considered as an index of disease activity. Subsequently, the patient received additional clarithromycin (CAM) and tacrolimus (TAC) treatment considering their immunomodulatory effects. As a result, the EOC decreased and the PSL dosage could be reduced. This case shows that additional CAM and TAC treatment may be beneficial in some cases of EPGA.

    Abstract Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. The mainstays of treatment are glucocorticoids (GCs) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, although most cases are refractory to these conventional therapies. Immunosuppressants,such as methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine A, tumor necrosis factor-α blockers, an interleukin (IL)-1 blocker, and an IL-6, receptor blocker, have been suggested in previous reports for the treatment of steroid-resistant AOSD. We report herein the case of an AOSD patient who was successfully treated with tacrolimus, another immunosuppressant, in combination with GC and MTX. Blood concentrations of tacrolimus were monitored because of the narrow therapeutic window.
