This project investigates individual treatments using convalescent severe acute respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) plasma in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients at risk for disease progression. In addition to standard of care, SARS-CoV-2 infected patients for whom blood group compatible convalescent plasma is available and who are willing to sign the informed consent receive convalescent plasma. Only patients with moderate to severe disease at risk for transfer to intensive care unit or patients at the intensive care unit with limited treatment options will be treated.
