Recently coronavirus infection 2019 (COVID-19) was declared as a Public Health Emergency by the World Health Organization. Extensive measures to reduce person-to-person transmission of COVID-19 and scientific research have been developed aiming to combat it. The idealization of vaccines will be of great help, but they will have to be constantly redone due to the high frequency of mutation of the virus. Also, it is necessary to develop techniques that allow to combat viral, bacterial and fungi load. In this sense, photodynamic therapy can be an alternative and efficient tool against viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the respiratory tract. The photodynamic therapy protocol is characterized by activation of a photosensitizer using an appropriate light source that in the presence of molecular oxygen is able to damage microorganisms. Herein, we review the past 25 years (1995-2019) concerning the use of photodynamic therapy in clinical trial against respiratory tract infections. We did not intend to create a comprehensive review; instead we highlight some the most important aspects for this infection to connect with the possibility of inactivation of the SARS-CoV-2 and its co-infections by photo reaction. We emphasize the use of photodynamic therapy as a potential clinical tool to decrease the microbial load in the respiratory tract, showing its main applications, advantages, and limitations.

对抗呼吸道感染的临床光动力疗法的最新进展:一种对抗 COVID-19 及其合并感染的有前途的工具

最近,世界卫生组织宣布 2019 年冠状病毒感染 (COVID-19) 为突发公共卫生事件。已经制定了广泛的措施来减少 COVID-19 的人际传播,并制定了旨在对抗它的科学研究。疫苗的理想化会有很大帮助,但由于病毒突变的频率很高,它们将不得不不断地重做。此外,有必要开发能够对抗病毒、细菌和真菌负荷的技术。从这个意义上说,光动力疗法可以成为对抗呼吸道病毒、细菌和真菌的一种替代且有效的工具。光动力治疗方案的特点是使用合适的光源激活光敏剂,在分子氧存在的情况下能够破坏微生物。在此处,我们回顾了过去 25 年(1995-2019)关于在呼吸道感染临床试验中使用光动力疗法的情况。我们不打算创建一个全面的审查;相反,我们强调了这种感染的一些最重要的方面,以与通过光反应灭活 SARS-CoV-2 及其联合感染的可能性相关联。我们强调使用光动力疗法作为减少呼吸道微生物负荷的潜在临床工具,展示其主要应用、优势和局限性。相反,我们强调了这种感染的一些最重要的方面,以与通过光反应灭活 SARS-CoV-2 及其联合感染的可能性相关联。我们强调使用光动力疗法作为减少呼吸道微生物负荷的潜在临床工具,展示其主要应用、优势和局限性。相反,我们强调了这种感染的一些最重要的方面,以与通过光反应灭活 SARS-CoV-2 及其联合感染的可能性相关联。我们强调使用光动力疗法作为减少呼吸道微生物负荷的潜在临床工具,展示其主要应用、优势和局限性。
