Ishami ry'umuryango w'abibumbye ryita ku buzima (OMS/WHO) rivuga ko ryahagaritse igeragezwa ry'umuti wa hydroxychloroquine uvura malaria nk'ushobora kuvura coronavirus.
Abashakashatsi bavuga ko abarwayi ba Covid-19 badakwiye gufata uyu muti wa hydroxychloroquine, mu gihe bitari mu igeragezwa ryawo Ejo ku wa mbere, OMS yavuze ko amagerageza y'uwo muti mu bihugu byinshi "abaye ahagaritswe" nk'ingamba yo kwirinda. OMS itangaje ibyo nyuma yaho ubushakashatsi bugaragaje ko uwo muti ushobora kongera ibyago byuko abarwayi bicwa na Covid-19, indwara y'ubuhumekero iterwa n'ubu bwoko bushya bwa coronavirus. Perezida Donald Trump wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe z'Amerika yavuze ko yafashe uwo muti mu kwirinda iyo virusi. Bwana Trump yakomeje kwamamaza uwo muti uvura malaria, nubwo impuguke mu buvuzi bw'abantu zawamaganye ndetse n'abategetsi bo mu rwego rw'ubuvuzi bakaburira ko ushobora guteza ibibazo by'indwara y'umutima. Mu cyumweru gishize, ubushakashatsi bwasohotse mu kinyamakuru cy'ubushakashatsi mu buvuzi cya The Lancet, bwavuze ko ntacyo bitanga kuvurisha abarwayi ba coronavirus umuti wa hydroxychloroquine. Ubwo bushakashatsi bwongeraho ko gufata uwo muti kuri abo barwayi binashobora kongera umubare w'impfu z'abarwayi bari mu bitaro kubera coronavirus. Umuti wa hydroxychloroquine ntacyo utwaye mu kuvura malaria, cyo kimwe no mu kuvura indwara zimwe zibasira ubwirinzi bw'umubiri n'ingingo. Ariko kugeza ubu nta magerageza y'imiti ku barwayi yari yigere awuntagaho inama ko wakoreshwa mu kuvura abarwayi ba Covid-19. Perezida Trump yavuze ko yafashe uwo muti uvura malaria wa hydroxychloroquine mu kwirinda coronavirus OMS imaze igihe igerageza imiti inyuranye ku barwayi, igenzura niba ishobora gutanga umusaruro mu kuvura coronavirus. Mbere, OMS yari yaragaragaje impungenge ku makuru yuko hari abantu bafata imiti nta muganga wayibandikiye bakiteza ibyago bikomeye. Ejo ku wa mbere, abategetsi ba OMS bavuze ko hydroxychloroquine izakurwa ku rutonde rw'imiti ikorerwa igeragezwa, mu gihe hategerejwe ko ukorerwa isuzuma niba nta bibazo uteza. Ubushakashatsi bw'ikinyamakuru cy'ubuvuzi cya The Lancet bwakorewe ku barwayi 96,000 ba coronavirus. Muri bo abagera hafi ku 15,000 bakaba barahawe umuti wa hydroxychloroquine - cyangwa ubundi bwoko bwawo bwa chloroquine - wonyine cyangwa uri kumwe n'uwica udukoko wa 'antibiotic' (antibiotique). Ubwo bushakashatsi bwasanze abo barwayi bari bafite ibyago byinshi byo gupfira mu bitaro cyangwa bakagira ibibazo byo gutera k'umutima kurusha abandi barwayi ba Covid-19 batafashe uwo muti. Ikigero cy'ibyago by'urupfu muri ayo matsinda cyari giteye gutya: 18% ku bafashe hydroxychloroquine, 16.4% ku bafashe chloroquine na 9% ku barwayi batafashe umwe muri iyo miti. Abarwayi bahawe hydroxychloroquine cyangwa chloroquine iri kumwe na 'antibiotic', bo bari bafite ibyago byinshi kurushaho byo gupfa. Abo bashakashatsi baburiye ko hydroxychloroquine idakwiye gukoreshwa ahandi hantu hatari mu bushakashatsi, igihe uwo muti uba uri kugeragerezwa ku barwayi.
