ABSTRACT
Convalescent plasma therapy has been used to achieve passive immunization against diverse infectious agents by administering pathogen-specific antibodies. Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), which originated in Wuhan, China, has recently become a major concern all over the world.

Convalescent plasma therapy can be used as an empirical and investigational treatment for COVID-19, and so we briefly describe the main issues related to convalescent plasma therapy from the perspective of transfusion medicine.
