Abstract
Background: Azithromycin has been considered as a possible therapeutic agent for COVID-19 patients. However, there is limited data on its efficacy. Case Presentation: We describe three patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who did not respond to the initial treatment but improved dramatically upon adding azithromycin with a successful outcome. Conclusion: We have presented evidence of the potential beneficial effect of the azithromycin in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 in three different clinical settings. More evidence is needed regarding the microbiological data, safety, and efficacy of this medication in the management of COVID-19.
