Sumario:We present a critically ill patient affected by COVID-19, whose chest computed tomography (CT) scan featured lung consolidations and severe patchy ground-glass opacitie. On day 3 since hospital admission the patient was placed on convalescent plasma treatment. A combined treatment with supportive care, hemoperfusion and convalescent plasma successfully managed to save the patient’s life. Convalescent plasma probably contributed to heal this patient and should always be considered in the management of critically ill COVID-19 cases.
