Plasma Therapy for Treating COVID-19
Description
This template was adapted from the original submission. Edits were made to enhance scientific accuracy, optimal usability and/or to meet industry-leading design standards for science communication.
Ten severe COVID-19 patients were transfused with plasma from recovered donors with neutralizing antibody titers above 1:640. No adverse effects were observed and patients showed improvement in clinical symptoms, increased oxyhemoglobin saturation and lymphocyte counts, and reduced viral load. Three plasma patients were discharged and seven were ready for discharge compared to three deaths, six in stable condition, and one in improvement in matched patients who did not receive plasma therapy.
