Abstract
Dear Editor,
We still do not have effective therapy to combat SARS-CoV-2 except vaccination. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) might be a good choice for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 because it may only target the infection area using photosensitizers with a specific wavelength. “Hypocrellin B” is a substance used traditionally in Chinese medicine and as a photosensitizer which is used in China to treat many diseases. Its photodynamic action and research progress of "hypocrellin B" will be discussed. Why do we apply PDT with "hypocrellin B" as a photosensitizer against SARS-CoV-2? Is this a possible choice for the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2?
