Real Time Response: Dr. Arturo Casadevall

On March 1, 2020, convalescent plasma was not being used to treat or prevent #COVID19 in the US. Now, thanks to an “all-hands effort” Arturo Casadevall helped orchestrate, hospitals across the US are delivering “immediate immunity” to up to a thousand patients every day.

Imitating a COVID-19 Vaccine With Convalescent Blood Plasma Treatment in Two Clinical Trials

 “Crowdsourcing” of antibodies made by COVID-19 survivors is being tested for two uses: the first as a treatment to help prevent severe disease, hospitalization, and death in patients who are already ill with COVID-19. The second is as a post-exposure prophylaxis for people who have been exposed to COVID-19 to try and prevent infection from taking root.
