Treatment of Coronavirus19 with blood from cured patients
The blood of a cured coronavirus patient can be useful for transfusion of antibodies to other people who have an infection in progress. What has been revealed so far?
Is it possible to treat corona19 using the blood of a cured patient? Currently, coronavirus is spreading around the world, shaking everyone's daily life. The new virus, Corona19, does not yet have established treatments, and scientists still have not fully understood or identified the features of the virus.
However, scientists are currently investigating how to use the blood of a cured patient as a potential treatment.
Because it is a recently occurring virus, there has not been enough research to be sure of the treatment. But thanks to ongoing research, scientists are revealing a lot of information every day. We expect to be able to pinpoint the greatest risk factors and the most effective treatments for patients .
This article attempts to describe the latest research being conducted by scientists using the blood of cured coronavirus patients. It is hoped that the cured patient's blood will be available to infected patients. This is a technique that has worked quite successfully in diseases other than Corona19.
How to treat corona19 with blood from a cured patient
The use of blood from cured coronavirus patients aims to utilize antibodies developed to combat the virus in critically ill patients.
The use of blood from a cured coronavirus patient was first used by doctors, but it is still a technique that scientists are still working on . However, this same technique has been used in the past to treat other infectious diseases such as Ebola .
This treatment is predicted on a mechanism called [passive immunity]. Overcoming human infections is possible with antibodies that are specific molecules that act against the virus that caused the infection. These antibodies circulate in the person's blood and can neutralize the virus. The idea is that injecting this antibody into an infected person will help fight the virus more effectively.
This technique is being implemented in certain cities and other regions of the United States and Spain, but can only be used in critically ill patients. Doctors also need to know that the coronavirus has been completely removed from their body .
Treatment technology using the blood of a cured patient
To perform this technique, it is essential that the virus be completely removed from the body of the cured patient. In addition, the examination is performed only for patients in critical condition.
The use of blood as a treatment for people infected with coronavirus must meet a variety of requirements. As mentioned earlier, it is essential to ensure that the virus has been removed from the other person's body.
To confirm this, the doctor performs a test called PCR. Likewise, people who supply blood should not show symptoms of infection . Also, because scientists do not know whether these treatments are still effective, patients who receive blood should be in critical condition.
Scientists inject the plasma of a cured patient. Plasma is the body fluid excluding blood cells from the blood. Theoretically, this plasma contains the antibodies needed to neutralize the virus. Scientists then measure the level of the antibody and check for other diseases in the plasma. After they have tested everything, plasma is transfused to patients with active infection.
Achievements so far
Using antibodies-containing blood to combat infection is a fairly old technique. Good results have been achieved with certain infectious diseases such as Ebola and the Spanish flu . However, it should not be overlooked that coronavirus is an ongoing study.
Therefore, this is a possible treatment and it has begun to be used, but it is still uncertain. However, due to the theory behind the technology and past experience, most scientists expect good results.
