Timing of convalescent plasma therapy-tips from curing a 100-year-old COVID-19 patient using convalescent plasma treatment: A case report
BACKGROUND: Convalescent plasma therapy is used for the treatment of critically ill patients for newly discovered infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, under the premise of lacking specific treatment drugs and corresponding vaccines. But the best timing applicat...

description | BACKGROUND: Convalescent plasma therapy is used for the treatment of critically ill patients for newly discovered infectious diseases, such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, under the premise of lacking specific treatment drugs and corresponding vaccines. But the best timing application of plasma therapy and whether it is effective by antiviral and antibiotic treatment remain unclear. CASE SUMMARY: We describe a patient with COVID-19, a 100-year-old, high-risk, elderly male who had multiple underlying diseases such as stage 2 hypertension (very high-risk group) and infectious pneumonia accompanied by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema. We mainly describe the diagnosis, clinical process, and treatment of the patient, including the processes of two plasma transfusion treatments. CONCLUSION: This provides a reference for choosing the best timing of convalescent plasma treatment and highlights the effectiveness of the clinical strategy of plasma treatment in the recovery period of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. |
