Dongrui Cheng et al. Transpl Infect Dis. 2020 Oct.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been a pandemic worldwide. The data about COVID-19 in renal transplant recipient are deficiency. Herein, we report two COVID-19 cases in renal transplant recipients. Both cases were discharged following a treatment regimen including discontinued immunosuppressant and low-dose methylprednisolone-based therapy. There were no signs of rejection during the treatment. These successfully treated cases can provide helpful information about the management of COVID-19 in renal transplant recipients.

Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; immunosuppressant; methylprednisolone; renal transplant recipient.
