ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The role of systemic inflammation is proving crucial in determining unfavorable outcome in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. Limited data are available regarding immunosuppression management in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. We report a case of a 32-year-old KTR who developed SARS-CoV-2 infection and fully recovered in 15 days while maintaining standard immunosuppressive therapy.
