Multiple Post-SARS-COV2 Infectious Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipient

A forty-seven-year-old recipient in late period after kidney transplantation with chronic estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30 mL/min/1.73 m(2), fully vaccinated against COVID-19 was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection in November 2021. After an initially mild course of the disease, he developed multiorgan failure requiring periodic respiratory and dialysis therapy. Covid-19 disease was complicated by multiple infections such Clostridioides difficile infection, Streptococcus epidermidis bacteriemia, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida glabrata urinary tract disease, cytomegalovirus infection and oral candidiasis. In a short period, he was readmitted to the hospital twice with recurrent Klebsiella pneumoniae urosepsis. One of those hospitalizations was also complicated by another COVID-19 infection that was confirmed with non-reactive neutralizing antibody. Due to severe infections the patient required individualized modification of immunotherapy; however, due to their recurrence it was finally decided to be discontinued. The patient was also reintroduced to hemodialysis therapy and no infections occurred since then.
