COVID-19 with a Fatal Outcome in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Urological Surgery - Year 2020, Vol 58, Issue 4
Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic, with a mortality of up to 10% in the general population. Comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension are common among the elderly. The clinical manifestations of viral pneumonia associated with COVID19 vary widely, from mild to severe, in patients who underwent solid organ transplantation, an immunosuppressed patient group. Further large-scale studies regarding the screening and treatment approaches for COVID-19 among patients undergoing transplantation are required. Herein, we report the case of a patient who underwent renal transplantation and developed the COVID-19 infection that resulted in mortality.
