To observe the clinical effect of plasma exchange and tocilizumab in treatment of patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Six patients with severe COVID-19 admitted in First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 25 to February 25, 2020. Three patients were treated with plasma exchange and three patients were treated with tocilizumab. The effect on excessive inflammatory reaction of plasma exchange and tocilizumab was observed.
The C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased and the lymphocyte and prothrombin time were improved in 3 patients after treatment with plasma exchange; while inflammation level was not significantly decreased, and lymphocyte and prothrombin time did not improve in 3 patients treated with tocilizumab.
For severe COVID-19 patients with strong inflammatory reaction, plasma exchange may be preferred.
观察血浆置换及托珠单抗治疗新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)重型患者的临床效果。
选取2020年1月25日至2月25日蚌埠医学院第一附属医院收治的6例COVID-19重型患者,其中3例采用血浆置换治疗,3例采用托珠单抗治疗,观察血浆置换和托珠单抗对过度炎症反应的影响。
血浆置换治疗的3例患者治疗后C反应蛋白(CRP)及白细胞介素-6(IL-6)水平显著降低,淋巴细胞及凝血酶原时间改善;而托珠单抗治疗的3例患者炎症水平未显著降低,淋巴细胞及凝血酶原时间未改善。
对于炎症反应强烈的COVID-19重型患者,血浆置换可能为首选治疗方法。
