Document: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVIDâ€19) pneumonia has been poorly reported in solid organ transplanted patients; prognosis is uncertain and best management unclear. We describe the case of a 61â€yearâ€old kidney transplant recipient with several comorbidities who was hospitalized and later received a diagnosis of COVIDâ€19 pneumonia; the infection was successfully managed with the use of hydroxychloroquine and a single administration of tocilizumab, after immunosuppression reduction; the patient did not require mechanical ventilation. During the rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâ€CoVâ€2) pandemic, transplant clinicians should be readily informed about new cases of COVIDâ€19 pneumonia in solid organ transplant recipients, with focus on therapeutic strategies employed and their outcome.
