Covid-19 and Immunosuppression: A Case of Covid-19 in a Renal Transplant Recipient

Abstract

SUKHMANI BOPARAI ASWANI THURLAPATI AND RAJKAMAL HANSRA INTRODUCTION: The United States is currently a global hotspot with more than 1.6 million COVID-19 cases with 5.8% mortality [1]. Given its alarming rise, studies were undertaken to determine the clinical course of the illness. However, data in the immunosuppressed population, such as solid organ transplant recipients are lacking. We report one such case of a renal transplant recipient with COVID-19 pneumonia who had a successful hospital course.
