Abstract

Delirium can manifest as a neurological complication after COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients. To date, several reports have described delirium associated with SARS-COV-2 infection in older patients. Herein we present a case of a younger adult with a kidney transplant, who became disoriented, confused, and restless after acute COVID-19 and was admitted to the psychiatric ward for delirium management. He recovered and had a stable allograft function in follow-up.
