Abstract :
In December 2019, the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was reported from China. An emerging
infectious disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus,
namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2
(SARS-CoV-2) led to a global health problem and
pandemic (1). By 28 May 2020, the total number of laboratoryconfirmed cases of COVID-19 surpassed 5,701,337, with
357,688 reported deaths worldwide (2). Iran reported its
first confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the 19 February 2020 in Qom, Qom Province (3), and by 29 May 2020, a total of
143,849 confirmed cases and 7627 deaths were reported (2).
More than 300 active clinical trials concerning agents
and therapeutic measures potentiality effective in the
treatment of COVID-19 are underway. However, no
proven effective therapies for this virus are supported by any currently existing randomized clinical trials (RCTs) (4).
