- Abstract
Reinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was reported in a minority of cases after recovering from initial disease,1,2 and immunosuppression, and comorbid diseases are considered as risk factors.2 Possible mechanisms include the disappearance of protective antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and re-exposure to new variants but delayed viral clearance should also be considered in the differential diagnosis.3 We herein present a kidney transplant recipient who was admitted twice with the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Is COVID-19 infection more severe in kidney transplant recipients? Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 in a kidney transplant recipient.
