Abstract

Objective: to analyze the effectiveness of chlorhexidine on COVID-19 infection. Methods: An integrative literature review was carried out, data collection was carried out between the second and third week of June 2021, having as a time limit studies published between March 2020 and June 2021, in the PubMed databases, Lillacs and Clinicai Triais. Results: The search identified 70 articles published in the election period, of which 35 were included in the review, 6 of which did not address the topic, and of the remaining 27, 15 indicated that chlorhexidine has a positive result on SARS-Cov-2, 6 indicated that it is ineffective and 6 obtained inconclusive results. Conclusion: Although most of the reviewed studies indicate the use of chlorhexidine effectively against COVID-19, the small number of researches on the subject and the lack of robust results indicate the need for more research on the effect of the substance in combating infection.
