What is Convalescent Plasma?
Convalescent plasma is the liquid part of blood that is collected
from patients who have recovered from the novel coronavirus disease,
COVID-19, caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 patients develop
antibodies in the blood against the virus. Antibodies are proteins that
might help fight the infection. Convalescent plasma is being
investigated for the treatment of COVID-19 because there is no approved
treatment for this disease and there is some information that suggests
it might help some patients recover from COVID-19.
