| Core Tip |
Acute rejection is often seen in intestinal transplant (ITx) recipients due to the high immunogenicity of the intestinal graft. However, it might also be provoked by latent presence of viruses, due to the high immunosuppression needs. Recently, chronic latency of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the intestine has been shown. Hence, early recognition, eradication, and follow-up on intestinal biopsies in ITx recipients might be warranted to prevent the potential acute rejection provocation of the intestinal graft by SARS-CoV-2. |
