Abstract
Purpose of review: In this review, we aim to summarize the evolution of care for the solid organ transplant recipient (SOTR) with COVID-19 disease, based on the current published guidelines and our center's experience.
Recent findings: Oral antiviral medications and monoclonal antibodies are now used with the goal to prevent severe disease. Immunomodulating drugs in addition to antivirals have been used in the treatment of severe COVID-19.
Summary: With the ongoing pandemic and unique challenges posed by the SOTR, understanding the risk and advancing management and treatment of COVID-19 infections are imperative to the successful care of a transplant recipient. There are many ongoing clinical trials being conducted in hopes of developing novel therapeutics towards COVID-19.
期刊介绍：
Under the guidance of Dr. Dorry Segev, from Johns Hopkins, Current Transplantation Reports will provide an in-depth review of topics covering kidney, liver, and pancreatic transplantation in addition to immunology and composite allografts.We accomplish this aim by inviting international authorities to contribute review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. By providing clear, insightful balanced contributions, the journal intends to serve those involved in the field of transplantation.
