Abstract Convalescent plasma (CP) transfusion has been utilized as a salvage therapy in immunocompromised patients with severe COVID‐19 pneumonia. We describe the case of a 45‐year‐old immunocompromised patient, who received CP, in order to control multiple COVID‐19 flares and prolonged SARS‐CoV‐2 viraemia lasting for 2 months after the initial diagnosis.
