COVID-19 might potentially give rise to a more severe infection in solid organ transplant recipients due to their chronic immunosuppression. These patients are at a higher risk of developing concurrent or secondary bacterial and fungal infections. Co-infections can increase systemic inflammation influencing the prognosis and the severity of the disease, and can in turn lead to an increased need of mechanical ventilation, antibiotic therapy and to a higher mortality. Here we describe, for the first time in Europe, a fatal case of co-infection between SARS-CoV-2 and Pneumocystis jirevocii in a kidney transplant recipient.
