US President Donald Trump has announced that emergency plasma will be used to treat infected patients in the country. It is being claimed that up to 30% -50% of the lives of infected patients can be saved.

US Health Minister Alex Azar and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn said, “This plasma will be extracted from the blood of patients who have been cured of the infection and given to the infected patient, which will increase its chances of recovery.”

In plasma therapy, plasma is removed from the blood of persons who have been free of corona infection and is offered to another corona virus infected patient. In fact, a person who has been cured of an infection becomes immune to the virus in the body and after 3 weeks it can be given to an infected person in the form of plasma so that his body starts increasing immunity.

How is treated

Antibodies are made in the body of a healthy patient to fight the virus. Antibodies are proteins that can destroy or eliminate the virus. If those antibodies are offered to a patient through plasma, then that antibody is the patient who can kill the virus present in his body.

Plasma therapy is not a new therapy. Doctors believe that it is a dominant therapy that has also benefited and has been used in many viral infections.
