Abstract
In late December 2019, a cluster of unexplained pneumonia cases has been reported in Wuhan, China, named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) which has been spreading in 204 countries. In this review, the mains pharmaceutical option quoted previously and especially available for ICU patients are reviewed.
