We report a case series of four critically ill patients infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 www.ccmjournal.org XXX 2020 • Volume XX • Number XXX (SARS-CoV-2) successfully treated with plasma exchange. Upon suspicion of hyperinflammatory state due to cytokine storm and macrophage activation like syndrome, therapeutic plasma exchange was started on day 10. The patient condition improved in the following days: fever resolved 3 days following the fourth session of plasma exchange (day 19), renal, cardiac, and respiratory function normalized, and laboratory findings showed sustained improvement ( Fig. 1 Table 2 , Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/CCM/F805). Fever resolved, cardiac and renal function normalized in few days, and regular laboratory tests ( Fig. 1 Table 2 , Supplemental Digital Content 3, http://links.lww.com/CCM/F805) and plasma cytokines also improved (Fig. 2) .	./cache/cord-305074-wz17u4e7.txt	./txt/cord-305074-wz17u4e7.txt
