Complete blood count serum Dâ??dimer, Câ??reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin and IL6 levels will be done for all patients. As per our institutional protocol, all patients will receive standard medical care comprising oral paracetamol (for fever), oral proton pump inhibitor for stress ulcer prophylaxis (pantoprazole 40 mg/day), and low molecular weight heparin for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis (enoxaparin 1 mg/kg, once daily). Therapeutic anticoagulation (enoxaparin 1 mg/kg, twice daily) will be given in patients who will have D dimer levels >500 ng/ mL. Dexamethasone 6 mg iv daily will be used for 7 days. Antibiotics (azithromycin or doxycycline ) will be used in patients with a total leukocyte count of >11,000 cell/μL, procalcitonin >0.5 ng/mL, or if they have hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure <65 mmHg). We will not use hydroxychloroquine in any of these patients. We will use intradermal Mw (0.3 mL/day [0.1 mL contains 0.5 Ã? 109 heat- killed Mw] for 3 consecutive days, in addition to standard medical care.
