Covid treatments using tube taken from the blood of recovered coronavirus cases shouldn’t be given to people with mild or moderate illness, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
Convalescent tube showed some early pledge when given intravenously to people sick with Covid-19.
But in advice published in the British Medical Journal, the WHO now says that” current substantiation shows that it doesn’t ameliorate survival nor reduce the need for mechanical ventilation, and it’s expensive and time- consuming to administer”.
It made a” strong recommendation”against the use of blood tube in people who don’t have serious Covid-19 symptoms and said that indeed for cases with severe and critical illness, the treatment should only be given as part of a clinical trial.
Convalescent tube is the liquid part of blood from a recovered Covid case that contains antibodies produced by the body after being infected.
It was one of the array of implicit treatments delved beforehand in the epidemic, but has shown limited benefit in clinical trials.
The WHO said its rearmost recommendations were grounded on substantiation from 16 trials involving cases withnon-severe, severe, and critical Covid-19 infection.
