| Core Tip |
The pandemic of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is life threatening only for a limited subgroup of patients manifesting severe respiratory failure. Hemodialysis (HD) patients are in a paradox state of immuno-activation and immuno-paralysis and it is not yet clear if they are more or less vulnerable to serum response factor. We report the case of two siblings with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection at the same time and opposite outcome, death of the brother with normal renal function and rather indolent course of the brother on HD. This case challenges the relevance of HD as independent risk factor for COVID-19 associated mortality. |
