Gastrointestinal symptoms are not rare among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, but there have been no reports regarding convalescent plasma therapy for the recovery of gastrointestinal problems in COVID-19 patients.
We present two cases of patients with COVID-19-associated recurrent diarrhea and positive fecal occult blood who successfully recovered after a one-time convalescent plasma administration.
When COVID-19 patients develop recurrent or refractory gastrointestinal symptoms and fail to respond to the available treatment, alternative therapy with convalescent plasma administration may be considered.
胃肠道症状在新冠病毒病 2019(COVID-19)患者中并不罕见,但尚无关于恢复期血浆治疗 COVID-19 患者胃肠道问题的报告。
我们报告了两例 COVID-19 相关复发性腹泻和粪便潜血阳性的患者,在单次输注恢复期血浆后成功康复。
当 COVID-19 患者出现反复或难治性胃肠道症状且对现有治疗无反应时,可考虑使用恢复期血浆输注作为替代治疗。
