Burn injury remains an important public health problem, even during the pandemic. The management of concomitant burn in an organ transplant recipient has been rarely described. Here, we report a kidney transplant recipient who was admitted for moderate COVID-19 symptoms and then sustained a second-degree inhalational burn injury at home on day 2 after discharge from COVID-19. The patient was shown to be COVID-19 positive and was isolated initially in the burn unit. After a second negative report on day 3 of hospital admission, the patient was shifted to the general ward. He required a hemodialysis session and modification of immunosuppression, which was done through telemedicine from our center. The wound was complicated by a rejection episode, which was treated by regrafting. He recovered on day 45 after injury with baseline immunosuppression restored. His serum creatinine reached a nadir of 3.2 mg/dL, and he has continued on regular follow-up. In summary, our case highlights the difficulty in managing burn cases during the pandemic. The added problem of balancing immunosuppression in organ transplant recipients with burn injuries is a daunting task for transplant physicians.en-USFlame injuryOrgan transplantationSARS-CoV-2TelemedicineOthercilt 1sayı 3
