Abstract

Kidney transplant (KT) recipients are at an increased risk for severe COVID-19 because of their immunosuppressed state. A 42-year-old KT patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 three months after KT. Despite lymphopenia and several risk factors, he had a mild disease course. Nasopharyngeal real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for SARS-CoV-2 became negative 48 days after detection. SARS‑CoV‑2 IgG antibodies became negative after day 40. TTV DNA load increased with the onset COVID-19 and reduced after its resolution. This is the first report where TTV DNA load was measured during the course of COVID-19.
