Incidence and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a pediatric kidney transplant recipient cohort from a single center in Northern Italy.

Background: Concern about SARS-CoV-2 infection has increased over the possible effects on immunocompromised patients. Among them, recipients of solid organ transplantation deserve special attention. Data from the adult population suggest they may be at high risk for developing severe COVID-19, but little data are available for pediatric solid organ transplantation recipients.
