C-reactive protein levels.

CRPAUCFold increase/decrease value

Chlo+L/R6741.22-fold higher
L/R337.81.63-fold lower
Chlo264.62.08-fold lower
ST552.2

The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated and compared to that of the ST group. ANOVA tests were performed, considering significant a . L/R: lopinavir/ritonavir; Chlo: chloroquine; L/R+Chlo: lopinavir/ritonavir plus chloroquine; ST: standard treatment; AUC: area under the curve; CRP: C-reactive protein; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase.
