- Case Report: The Challenge for Diagnosis of Myocarditis and Transplant Rejection After COVID Infection in a Heart-Transplanted Adolescent(2023) PEGADO, Helio Milani; SIQUEIRA, Adailson; NAVARAJASEGARAN, Joshua; BENVENUTI, Luiz Alberto; CASTRO, Claudia Regina Pinheiro; ARRIETA, Santiago Raul; GUTIERREZ, Paulo Sampaio; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; AIELLO, Vera Demarchi; JATENE, Marcelo Biscegli; AZEKA, EstelaPatients who have undergone organ transplantation are immunosuppressed hosts, leaving them at a higher risk of infections. SARS-COV-2 has been shown to affect heart-transplanted patients. In this case report, we present the case of a 14-year-old heart transplant recipient who developed signs and symptoms of heart failure, along with fatigue, after a COVID-19 infection. An endomyocardial biopsy was performed to diagnose rejection and to evaluate whether this was myocarditis due to SARS-COV-2. The biopsy showed intense acute cellular rejection (3R) and antibody rejection PAMR1 H+ but was negative for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The patient received organ rejection therapy with high-dose methylprednisolone and human immunoglobulin. After treatment, her heart function recovered, with biopsy investigations showing a lower level of cellular rejection (1R).
