Summary

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic is responsible for more than 180,000 deaths worldwide and 20,000 deaths in France. To date, no treatment or vaccine has been successful. Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic suitable for use on the skin and mucosa with potent virucidal activity, particularly against coronaviruses. It is marketed for oro-nasopharyngeal decolonization.

24 patients with positive nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 carriage will be randomized (1:1) in an experimental group (benefiting from povidone iodine decolonization) or a control group. Patients in the experimental group will be asked to gargle with a 1% povidone-iodine solution, spray their nose with the same antiseptic solution, and finally applied 10% povidone-iodine cream in each nostril, all four times a day for five days. Patients will be followed for 7 days to evaluate the efficacy and safety of povidone iodine decolonization.
