Core Tip	A 100-year-old coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient with several underlying diseases including hypertension (stage 2 hypertension) accompanied by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema was cured using convalescent plasma. Besides the effective maintenance of supportive treatment and no antiviral and antibiotic treatment, the convalescent plasma was infused into the patient at the early stage of the infection. This choice of time points (on the 7th and 11th days of hospitalization) provides a reference for choosing the best timing of convalescent plasma treatment and highlights the effectiveness of the clinical strategy of plasma treatment in the recovery period of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
