BACKGROUND: Immunosuppressed liver transplant (LT) patients are considered to be
at high risk for any kind of infection. What the outbreak of the novel severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) means for the transplant
cohort is a question that, as of now, cannot easily be answered. Data on
prevalence, relevance of the novel virus, and clinical course of the infection in
stable LT patients are limited. METHODS: Nasopharyngeal swabs were performed in
our outpatient department during the shutdown between March and April 2020 in
Germany. RESULTS: The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 was 3%. Three out of a cohort of
101 LT patients were asymptomatic for respiratory diseases. Respiratory
complaints were common and not associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The overall
monthly mortality rate was 0.22% and did not show alterations during the shutdown
in Germany. CONCLUSIONS: If preventive measures are applied, LT patients do not
seem to be at a higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Telemedicine in the
outpatient setting may help to maintain distance and to reduce direct patient
contact. However, standard of care must be guaranteed for patients with relevant
comorbidities in spite of pandemics, because complications may arise from
preexisting conditions.
