Abstract
Post renal transplant patients are generally immunosuppressed and remain
at a higher risk for getting bacterial and viral infections. Most of
these patients are taking immunosuppressive medications, including
steroids. This case series highlights the clinical outcomes and
characteristics of 8 post renal transplant patients who acquired
COVID-19.
