However, the course of this disease in immunosuppressed patients remains unknown. This study aimed to describe the course of COVID\u201019 infection and its effects on lung transplant recipients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This was a single\u2010center, retrospective, observational study. The recipients with suspicious symptoms and\/or a contact history with infected individuals were diagnosed with COVID\u201019 by performing a reverse transcription\u2010polymerase chain reaction (RT\u2010PCR) test using samples obtained from the nasopharynx swabs or bronchial lavage. We classified the patients into mild, moderate, and high severity groups according to their clinical conditions. In patients with positive RT\u2010PCR results, cell cycle inhibitor drugs were withdrawn, while steroids were maintained at the same level as in patients without clinical deterioration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the seven recipients diagnosed with COVID\u201019 infection, one experienced a re\u2010infection. Each recipient had at least one comorbidity. Smell disorder (12.5%), cough\/dyspnea (37%), and fever\/chills\/shivering (37%) were the most frequent symptoms. The mean follow\u2010up time after infection was 108 days. No deaths were recorded due to COVID\u201019; however, the pulmonary function test values of two recipients were decreased during subsequent follow\u2010ups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In our small group of transplant recipients with COVID\u201019, there were two cases of pulmonary function deterioration and a case of re\u2010infection, and no recipient died. It is suggested that steroid therapy should be initiated in the early period in patients with pulmonary opacities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tid.13700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,29]],"date-time":"2021-07-29T12:20:33Z","timestamp":1627561233000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["COVID\u201019 in lung transplant recipients: A single\u2010center experience"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4029-419X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinan","family":"Turkkan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4038-630X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammet Ali","family":"Beyoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7652-624X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehmet Furkan","family":"Sahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5651-0569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alk\u0131n","family":"Yazicioglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7054-6186","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasemin","family":"Tezer Tekce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious Diseases Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erdal","family":"Yekeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation Ankara City Hospital University of Health Sciences  Ankara Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","unstructured":"WHO.https:\/\/covid19.who.int\/.
