Overview

Brief Summary

Treatment of severe 2009 H1N1 infection with convalescent plasma will reduce mortality.

Detailed Description

Patients presented with severe 2009 H1N1 infection responded poorly to antiviral agents. Meta-analysis of reports from 1918 H1N1 pandemic suggested that convalescent plasma might be an effective treatment option for patients with severe 2009 H1N1 infection.
