– Two-months old infant becomes the first to undergo plasma transfusion in the World, with no other recorded evidence
Hyderabad, September 12, 2020: A team of experts at Medicover Hospitals, in Maharashtra saved the life of a two-months old infant who tested Covid-19+ve by performing ‘Plasma Therapy’. This arguably is the youngest patient in India (and around the World) on whom plasma transfusion was performed to save life.
The child was admitted to the hospital under critical condition, with 80% of the lungs getting infected with coronavirus, resulting into acute pneumonia. Respiratory distress and high temperature turned the condition severe; and the child was not responding to traditional Covid-19 treatment protocols. From Remdesivir injection to Heparin therapy, all possible treatments were tried on the patient.
Sometimes, instead of rushing to a hospital in time, parents end up performing home remedies due to fear of prevailing Covid-19 situation. The consequences at times are bad. During these times of a global pandemic, it is important people stay vigilant of symptoms, and rush to a healthcare facility before situation goes beyond control.
