*3.3. Liver Transplant Recipients*

In liver transplant recipients, only one case report with COVID-19 stage IIB has been published (Table 1) [23]. A 37-year-old man underwent a liver transplant 3 months previously. He was under immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus and glucocorticoids. Two days after transplantation, he had a persistent fever and chest CT showed a minor pleural effusion. His sputum showed gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli. After 9 days, his chest CT was repeated and, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, he was sampled for SARS-CoV-2 and found positive. He required high-flow oxygen therapy, and additionally tacrolimus and glucocorticoids were gradually titrated to lower doses. After 24 days, his fever subsided, and tacrolimus was increased due to acute cellular rejection. The patient was discharged without any signs of multisystem organ failure during hospitalization.
