| Abstract: | Background: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.Case presentation: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.Conclusion: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. |
