Abstract
The spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic infection to respiratory failure and death of patients. Severely affected patients may develop a cytokine storm-like clinical syndrome with multi-organ failure and a mortality rate of up to 90%. Recently, it has been suggested that plasma exchange (PE) may positively influence this unfavorable course.
