Abstract

Abstract : The recent identification of an outbreak of 2019‐ novel Coronavirus is currently evolving, and the impact on transplantation is unknown. However, it is imperative that we anticipate the potential impact on the transplant community in order to avert severe consequences of this infection on both the transplant community and contacts of transplant patients. Abstract : Given the current spread of a novel coronavirus, transplant infectious disease experts discuss the impact of emerging infections on the transplant community and suggest current management strategies.
