Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSâ€CoVâ€2) has spread widely, causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVIDâ€19) and significant mortality. However, data on viral loads and antibody kinetics in immunocompromised populations are lacking. We aimed to determine nasopharyngeal and plasma viral loads via RTâ€PCR and SARSâ€CoVâ€2 serology via ELISA and study their association with severe forms of COVIDâ€19 and death in kidney transplant recipients.
