Coronavirus India: Rush for plasma therapy as Covid-19 cases rise
One of the earlier studies was done in China and it showed positive clinical improvement. But it also noted that all patients who recovered in the trial also received a variety of therapies in addition to plasma.
Dr Sushila Kataria, director of intensive care at Medanta Hospital, says more and more patients and their relatives are now asking for plasma therapy. "It should not be given beyond the scope of clinical trials at the moment. We need more data and understanding. Under no circumstances, families should be told that this therapy is a magic wand," he says.
