Abstract
We report the case of a previously healthy patient who was severely affected by COVID-19 and developed torsade de pointes after hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin administration.

In light of this clinical observation, and until the efficacy of this association is proven, we plead against its use in critically ill COVID-19 patients.
