ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 100 million people worldwide. One of the major presentations is pneumonia. Patients are classified as severe when they have an arterial oxygen saturation of less than 94% on breathing room air.

This case underlines the importance of administering the plasma in the first few days of the disease.
