Indiscriminate use of plasma therapy

July 07, 2020 12:00:00


During this epidemic, many people are showing enthusiasm for plasma therapy after it is found to be effective to some extent. Owing to widespread publicity on social media, they firmly believe that plasma therapy can cure people infected with the coronavirus. Some doctors are talking about plasma therapy but the common people are rushing for plasma therapy without taking expert's views.

However, according to experts, chances of transferring hepatitis, AIDS, and other diseases are high if and when it is not done with proper test. The person affected with corona may get rid of this virus; but unknowingly s/he may be taking germs of other diseases. Such disease may cause life-long suffering or even death. It is high time we became conscious about plasma therapy and took maximum precaution before using it.
