Scientists hoping to harness convalescent plasma to fight Covid Studies indicate it is most useful for preventing onset of severe illness or prevent symptoms completely than as a cure
A medical trial in Calcutta and others in India and around the world suggest antibody-rich blood plasma from patients who’ve recovered from Covid-19 can be used to combat the virus and, if administered early, keep people out of intensive care.
The Calcutta study was based on 80 patients at the West Bengal state-run ID&BG Hospital that took place between end-May and end-October. Crucially, it found administering plasma therapy produced “significant immediate mitigation of hypoxia (when oxygen falls to dangerously low levels), reduction in the hospital stay as well as survival benefits” in severely ill COVID-19 patients with Acute Respiratory Disease Syndrome (ARDs).
