“…According to the available literature, membrane stabilizing profiles of various extracts of L. camara on red blood cells exposed to both heat and hypotonic induced lysis have been reported previously. A study conducted in Italy has confirmed the role of aqueous and methanolic extracts of Lantana camara in erythrocytes membrane stabilization [30] . Another study conducted in Nigeria has found that both ethanol and ethyl acetate contained principles have protected the erythrocyte membranes effectively in a concentration dependent fashion.…”

It is indisputable that COVID-19 virus interfered with the health status, education, socio economic impact on Sri Lanka and is threatening the entire world at present. Several vaccines are being developed; clinical trials are being performed aiming to eradicate the virus. The application of traditional medicinal plants as treatments of patients or as supportive therapies is a common topic being discussed today. In this review, we discuss the current situation of COVID-19 infection in Sri Lanka, pathogenesis of the entry of COVID-19 virus to human red blood cells, hematological complications, existing laboratory diagnosis methods. We discuss the properties of traditional Sri Lankan plant, Lantana camara and how its activities are useful to act against the fatal pathophysiology that may associate with COVID-19 infected and post COVID-19 infected blood. Furthermore, we create a platform to discuss the possibilities of using Lantana camara in the management of COVID-19 patients in future.
