COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - As COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations continue to rise, the demand for convalescent plasma, a well-known treatment for those battling the virus, has skyrocketed.
The Red Cross says hospital distributions of convalescent plasma have increased by 250% since October, and thereâs now a national shortage.
Recent studies show convalescent plasma if given early, can help keep older adults from getting seriously sick. The Blood Connection, which provides blood products to more than 70 hospitals in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia says itâs one of the most used COVID-19 treatments in hospitals.
