Abstract

It has been suggested that severe SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a risk factor for Herpesviridae reactivation due to the state of sepsis-associated immunosuppression. We presented the case of co-infection of CMV and COVID-19 infection in a 43-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease.

Keywords: COVID‐19; ESRD; cytomegalovirus; kidney transplant.
