ABSTRACT
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is evolving very quickly and has affected healthcare systems worldwide. Many uncertainties remain about transplantation from a SARS-CoV-2-positive donor as only a few cases have been reported. Here, we present the successful transplantation of 2 kidneys from a 52-year-old male donor with active (2 weeks of COVID-19-like symptoms and positive nasopharyngeal swab SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction on the day of organ recovery) SARS-CoV-2 disease. The immediate postoperative course of both recipients was uneventful. This case emphasizes that patients with SARS-CoV-2 may be safe organ donors.
