cord-263365-ymnbktm5	Dube, Geoffrey K.	COVID‐19 infection in pancreas transplant recipients	2020-06-09		.txt	text/plain	2494	168	51	1 Clinical manifestations of COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, range from asymptomatic infection to mild upper respiratory tract symptoms or viral pneumonia. We present here the first four cases of COVID-19 disease reported in PT recipients, with one case being a presumptive diagnosis based on suggestive symptoms and known nosocomial exposure in the absence of confirmatory PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2. First, the main presenting symptoms in our PT recipients (fever in 100%, cough in 75%) were similar to what is reported in the non-transplant population. The clinical deterioration of patient 3 after 10 days highlights the importance of close monitoring of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 in PT recipients followed in the outpatient setting until complete symptom resolution. When our patients informed us of symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection, we held mycophenolate in 3 of our patients and temporarily held tacrolimus in 1 patient on monotherapy, a strategy similar to that employed in other solid organ transplant recipients at our center.	./cache/cord-263365-ymnbktm5.txt	./txt/cord-263365-ymnbktm5.txt
