Abstract :
COVID‑19 outbreak has become a global health concern due to challenges in treatment and high mortality rate; therefore, its
therapeutic approaches play an important role in reducing the mortality rate and resolving this concern. Different therapies have
been introduced, including interferon beta‑1a and purification methods, for instance, plasmapheresis. In this article, we reported a
child with severe COVID‑19 who fully recovered after receiving plasmapheresis and interferon beta‑1a.
