filter terms:

In the case of life-threatening viral diseases, viral load is associated with mortality. A new and innovative therapeutic approach is the reduction of viral load by extracorporeal elimination without simultaneously weakening the immune system by removing specific antibodies. Basis of this therapy is a modified plasma filter coated with a lectin derived from the snowdrop. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
