Plasma transfusions to begin in Mumbai today

Taking a leaf out of the book of Kerala, which has begun a trial to explore convalescent plasma therapy for treatment of Covid-19 patients, Mumbai on Tuesday will take its first step towards starting a similar study. The BYL Nair Hospital at Mumbai Central is all set to collect blood from patients who have recovered from the novel coronavirus and have developed antibodies. Convalescent plasma therapy includes giving patients blood plasma from those who have developed antibodies to Covid-19 through transfusions.
