SARS-CoV-2 is highly infectious, and infection by this virus results in COVID-19,
manifesting predominantly symptoms in the lower respiratory system. Detection of
viral genomic materials by RT-PCR is the gold standard for diagnosis. Suspected
COVID-19 patients who had a documented history of exposure and exhibited
symptoms, but did not have positive PCR test results, were generally
self-quarantined with prescriptions aiming to help attenuate their symptoms.
These prescriptions are however neither specific nor highly effective for
COVID-19 treatment. Given the rapidly growing pandemic and the overwhelmed
medical system, the number of self-quarantined patients is increasing. There is
an urgent need of alternative medicine to help patients relieve symptoms during
self-quarantine, and to potentially help increase their chances of survival and
recovery from the infection. We report here a case of severe COVID-19 that never
had a positive PCR test result during disease progression but was confirmed with
antibody test post recovery. This patient was self-quarantined and received
diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG), a steroid-like molecule, in combination with
vitamin C as alternative medicine. This patient went through severe COVID-19 but
eventually recovered upon the implementation of this treatment regimen,
suggesting potential therapeutic effects of DG as alternative medicine to help
relieve COVID-19 symptoms.
