Low prevalence and disease severity of COVID-19 in post-liver transplant recipients-A single centre experience.
Liver International : Official Journal of the International Association for the Study of the Liver 2020 May 30
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a novel coronavirus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is driving a present day global pandemic. Immunosuppressed patients are regarded as a high-risk cohort. The following is a short report on COVID-19 in liver transplant recipients (n = 5) from a high volume UK liver transplant unit with a large follow-up cohort (n = 4500). Based on this limited data, liver transplant recipients appear to have a low incidence of COVID-19, with less severe symptoms than expected, when compared with the general population and other solid organ recipients. This possibly could be related to self-isolation adherence and/or the 'ideal' level of immunosuppression that favourably modulates the immune response to COVID-19.
