Precise targeting of severe COVID-19 patients is necessary for reaping the clinical benefits of convalescent plasma therapy.
This study indicates that convalescent plasma therapy is effective and specific for COVID‐19.
Limited published results on plasma transfusion treatment for COVID-19 disease with concomitant treatments suggest that CP therapy for COVID-19 is well tolerated and effective.
Until we have concrete evidence to prove otherwise, convalescent plasma therapy may be used as adjuvant therapy for treating COVID-19 infection in critically ill patients.
This clinical study provides strong evidence to support the efficacy of convalescent plasma therapy in COVID-19 patients and recommends this treatment for management of these patients.
Plasma of recovered COVID-19 individuals is safe and effective therapeutic modality that significantly accelerated clinical improvement in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
Despite some limitations, this traditional therapy sheds light on the therapy for severe and critical COVID-19 patients (3, 4).
Therefore, in addition to etiological and supportive treatment, immunomodulatory therapy is also appropriate to severe COVID-19.
However, our results showed that plasma therapy produces notable improvements in patients' clinical symptoms and radiological and biochemical parameters associated with COVID-19 infection.

What are the treatments for long covid?5 answersTreatment options for long COVID include acupoint stimulation therapy, agents that restore dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) physiology such as N-acetyl cysteine and guanfacine, triple anticoagulant therapy to normalize clotting physiology and reverse endothelialitis, and a functional medicine approach that addresses adrenal fatigue, gut health, inflammation resolution, histamine imbalance, and vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, Kampo medicine, a Japanese traditional medicine, has been used alone or in combination with Western medications to treat long COVID symptoms.
What are the available treatments for COVID-19?4 answersPassive immunization through monoclonal antibodies has shown positive impact on the clinical evolution of COVID-19, especially in outpatients or inpatients without oxygen supply. Ritonavir-boosted nirmatrelvir and remdesivir are direct antiviral treatments that are currently being used for the management of early infections. Anti-inflammatory treatments, such as dexamethasone, tocilizumab, JAK inhibitors, and anakinra, have been effective in inpatients with oxygen supply. Other treatments that have shown potential effects on COVID-19 symptoms include tetracycline, corticosteroids, zinc, curcumin, traditional herbal medicine, vitamin D, photobiomodulation, malic acid sialagogue, chewing gum, acupuncture, and moxibustion. Antiviral drugs, anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies, and traditional Chinese medicine are also being explored as treatment options. Currently, there are authorized treatments in Canada that include neutralizing antibodies and antivirals. The main therapeutic options for severe and critical illness involve modulating the host inflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
What is the best evidence for the treatment of covid-19?5 answersThe best evidence for the treatment of COVID-19 includes the use of corticosteroids, remdesivir, intravenous immunoglobulin, tocilizumab, and bromhexine. Corticosteroids have shown potential in reducing the risk of death, serious adverse events, and mechanical ventilation. Remdesivir may reduce the risk of serious adverse events. Intravenous immunoglobulin has shown evidence of reducing the risk of death and serious adverse events. Tocilizumab may reduce the risk of serious adverse events and mechanical ventilation. Bromhexine may reduce the risk of non-serious adverse events. However, it is important to note that the evidence for these interventions is of very low certainty, and more high-quality trials are needed to establish effective treatments for COVID-19.
