| Core Tip |
Coronavirus disease (COVID) is a novel and unknown infectious disease that involves all the world due to a novel coronavirus (named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 latter). Immunocompromised patients often present atypical presentations of viral diseases. We report a case of a COVID-19 infection in a liver transplant recipient, in which the first clinical symptoms were abdominal pain without fever or respiratory symptoms. The immunosuppression seems to be doesn’t worsen the prognostic of COVID-19 pneumonia for this patient but future studies including more patients are needed to explore the impact of COVID-19 infections in this special setting. |
