A useful discussion on immunosuppression in lung transplant patients - by no means a study. The DRAWBACKS are this is a single centre, a few patient case reports. But they do have a large popn of transplant patients. Transplanted children did not get worse covid19...
heavily immunosuppressed young people did not get worse disease, those who got frank disease were older, minimally immunosuppressed, and had other comorbidities. Age and comorbidity outweighed immunosuppression in THIS TINY NUMBER.
another issue in immunosuppressed patients is they may not display classical symptoms like fever etc and not get swabbed for that reason. However. Interesting because circles back to cardiovascular issues as a risk factor. The transplant centre is in LOMBARDY
