Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the outcomes of COVID-19 in solid organ transplant recipients post-pandemic, emphasizing how vaccinations and new antiviral treatments have improved disease management and survival rates.
- Conducted at A.O.U. Federico II in Naples, the research included 40 patients and highlighted the positive effects of monoclonal antibodies and antiviral therapies during the early stages of infection.
- It also raises important questions about how different immunosuppressive therapies (Mycophenolate potentially worsening outcomes and Everolimus possibly protecting against severe disease) impact COVID-19 severity, while reaffirming the critical role of vaccination, especially booster doses.

However, the pathophysiological mechanism underlying this unfavorable outcome is still not completely clear. The goal of our study was to evaluate the potential role of antidiabetic therapy in the evolution of COVID-19.
