Results: the multiprofessional team is specialized. Physicians and nurses provide general and broad guidelines for therapeutic follow-up, unlike other categories. Conclusion: the main health care described was immunosuppressive drug therapy; prevention of infections; guidance on returning to outpatient appointments and conducting examinations; surgical wound care; nutritional therapy and the use of masks. Knowledge about care has been expanded by providing guidance during hospital discharge and effective therapeutic follow-up.
