Kolkata:

West Bengal has taken an important step towards the start of plasma therapy to treat COVID-19 patients after a state-run hospital collected and stored the blood component of a woman who recovered from illness in March, a senior health department official said Thursday. .

The therapy involves taking antibodies from the plasma of a person who has recovered from COVID-19 and transfusing these antibodies to an active coronavirus patient to help the immune system fight infection.

The collection and storage of plasma were carried out Wednesday at the department of immuno-hematology and blood transfusion of Kolkata Medical College and Hospital, after Monami Biswas donated blood for this purpose, said the official.

The 23-year-old woman from Habra, in the northern Parganas district 24, recovered from the disease in March.

Blood plasma was collected from Ms. Biswas using the plasmapheresis method by a team of seven doctors led by Professor Dr Prasun Bhattacharya.

“The collection and storage of plasma was carried out for the first time in the east of the country,” the official told PTI.

The woman, who was pursuing higher education in Scotland, tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from abroad. She agreed to donate her blood plasma to treat these patients.

Ms. Biswas received chocolate, fruit juice and milkshake before the transfusion on Wednesday. Her body weight, blood pressure and body temperature were then noted and the plasma collection process began, said the official.

The whole process took around 50 minutes and about 410 milliliters of plasma was taken from it.

A cell separation machine was used to collect Ms. Biswas’ plasma, he added.

“After that, red blood cells, platelets and other components of the blood were put back into his body. It is a very complicated method but the process is quite similar to donating blood,” said the official.

Ms. Biswas said she was happy to donate plasma for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

“It is always nice to know that you have contributed to humanity. I have always wanted to help people,” she said.

A 28-year-old doctor from Tata Medical Center who recently recovered from COVID-19 will also donate plasma on Monday, sources with the health department said.

At least 10 to 12 bags of plasma will be enough to start plasma therapy in COVID-19 patients, the official added.
