Abstract
During 2020, COVID-19 or CoV2-SARS dominated the public and medical community's discourse, thus prompting a preponderance of COVID-driven research. Despite the many resulting studies, few new insights emerged regarding blood components and blood treatments, the focus of this chapter. The pandemic led to a resurgence of interest in convalescent plasma and, by extension, freeze-dried plasma as treatment options for Coronavirus. Several such studies are summarized. Other research topics include blood coagulation, treatments for iron deficiency anemia, and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. While this volume is devoted to exploring and reporting pharmacological side effects, most studies detailed few significant adverse events.
