Abstract :
COVID-19 is a new contagious viral pneumonia with various signs and symptoms, including loss of consciousness, liver injury, and
cerebrovascular accident; however, there is little data on the manifestation and outcome of COVID-19 in liver transplant patients.
Moreover, because transplant units in Iran were closed from the first day of the COVID-19 pandemic, accurate data about nosocomial
COVID-19 and the liver transplant setting is not available. In this article, we introduce a liver transplant recipient with a final fatal
outcome, who had had neurological manifestations, and whose COVID-19 manifestations began in the hospital within 2 days of
transplant surgery.
