AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has significantly impacted all aspects of healthcare including solid organ transplantation. In this review, we discuss the specific impact of COVID-19 on the pediatric solid organ transplant population including access to grafts for pediatric transplant candidates as well as COVID-19 disease manifestations in pediatric transplant recipients. We address the current knowledge of prevention and management of COVID-19 in pediatric transplant recipients and provide additional information regarding social distancing, infection prevention and return to school.
