COVID-19 is a new disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 with an increasing number of cases. until now, no specific
vaccine or antiviral therapy regimen has yet been found. A therapy that has been known for approximately a
century ago called convalescent plasma therapy has been discussed again as an effective and safe therapy for
COVID-19 patients. Conduct a literature review of scientific studies related to the effectiveness and safety
of convalescent plasma as a therapy for COVID-19 patients. Convalescent plasma has proven to be effective
because it can improve the clinical condition felt by patient, prevent the entry of viruses into cells and inhibit
the virus replication. This therapy is also proven to have no harmful effects, so it is safe to be performed by
paying attention to certain things such as conditions that must be fulfilled by the donors.
