Uso de plasma de convaleciente en el tratamiento de paciente con neumonía por COVID-19. Reporte de caso

Sars-Cov-2, known as COVID-19, is a virus belonging to coronavirus family, whose characteristicis the development of respiratory diseases, mainly pneumonia, with a high risk of progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome, which in turn is related to high morbidity and mortality rates that vary from case to case. Although a specific management scheme is not available, the use of convalescent plasma has been proposed as a therapeutic alternative, so studies are currently being carried out to evaluate its efficacy, although there are preliminary reports of published studies with encouraging results with low risk and possible benefits of this therapy. We present our case experience regarding the use of convalescent plasma in a 24 years old patient diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia at our institution.
