COVID-19, the ongoing pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, has had a dramatic impact on transplant systems in the most affected countries, namely Italy. Preliminary data indicates that patients on hemodialysis therapy as well kidney transplant (KTx) recipients appear to be particularly susceptible to COVID-19 illness due to immunosuppression and coexisting conditions. Currently, there is a lack of data concerning the biologic behavior, recurrence and long-term morbidity of COVID-19 and there are no experiences of transplants in patients who have previously had COVID-19. We report what is likely to be the first case of a KTx performed after a recent COVID-19 illness.

Abstract
COVID-19, the ongoing pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, has had a dramatic impact on transplant systems in the most affected countries, namely Italy. Preliminary data indicates that patients on hemodialysis therapy as well kidney transplant (KTx) recipients appear to be particularly susceptible to COVID-19 illness due to immunosuppression and coexisting conditions. Currently, there is a lack of data concerning the biologic behavior, recurrence and long-term morbidity of COVID-19 and there are no experiences of transplants in patients who have previously had COVID-19. We report what is likely to be the first case of a KTx performed after a recent COVID-19 illness.
