Abstract

Increased mortality of COVID-19 has been reported in older patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, lung disease and immunocompromised people such as kidney transplant recipients. Both the behavior of the viral infection and the treatments proposed so far interact with the state of immunosuppression and immunosuppressants. Herein, we report two cases of kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 infection. The first patient presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and progressively advanced to multilobar pneumonia. The second case presented with fever accompanied by gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms and dry cough. Both patients responded appropriately to treatment.

COVID-19在肾移植中的应用

据报道，患有糖尿病、高血压、肺病和免疫功能低下的老年患者（如肾移植受者）的新冠肺炎死亡率增加。病毒感染的行为和迄今为止提出的治疗方法都与免疫抑制和免疫抑制剂的状态相互作用。在此，我们报告了两例肾移植受者感染新冠肺炎的病例。第一例患者出现胃肠道症状，并逐渐发展为多叶肺炎。第二例出现发烧，伴有胃肠道和泌尿系统症状以及干咳。两名患者对治疗的反应都很好。
