摘要
A 48-year-old patient with a weight of 120 kg with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and gout was hospitalized on the third day of the COVID-19 diagnosis. His general condition is relatively good, oxygen saturation is 89%. Despite starting standard treatment, on the seventh day from the onset of symptoms, the patient deteriorated sharply (oxygen saturation dropped to 74%). The negative development of the disease is interrupted with a loading dose of colchicine of 6 mg. This is a typical case of the life-saving effect of high but safe doses of colchicine in high-risk COVID-19 patients.
