Chronic hepatitis c genotype-4 infection: role of insulin resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The COVID-19 causing coronavirus is an enveloped RNA virus that utilizes an enzyme RNA dependent RNA polymerase for its replication. Favipiravir (FVP) triphosphate, a purine nucleoside analog, inhibits that enzyme. We have conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis on efficacy and safety of the drug ...
