St Luke's: Plasma therapy shows improvement in COVID patients

Doctors at St. Luke's Medical Center report improvements in COVID-19 patients who received convalescent plasma therapy.

Convalescent plasma therapy involves transfusing blood from recovered COVID-19 patients, which contains antibodies against the virus.

Dr. Mae Campomanes noted positive changes in biochemical parameters and oxygenation status among treated patients.

Hematologist Dr. Francisco Lopez observed improvements in chest x-rays and reduced inflammation biomarkers.

Patients on ventilators showed decreased oxygen requirements.

Despite these promising signs, doctors emphasize that further studies are needed to confirm the efficacy of the treatment.
