Article Synopsis
- Transplant recipients, especially those with chronic immunosuppression, are at higher risk for severe infections like COVID-19, leading researchers to study this group specifically.
- The study involved 25 hospitalized African American renal transplant recipients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, focusing on their symptoms, lab results, management strategies, and outcomes.
- Despite complications, such as low oxygen saturation and the need for ICU care for some patients, the overall mortality rate in this cohort was low at 4%, suggesting better outcomes compared to other studies involving COVID-19 in transplant patients.
