This was a single center, retrospective chart review performed as a QAPI project to assess similarities in kidney transplant recipients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 as compared to those who tested negative, and guide testing recommendations in the setting of limited testing availability during the COVID-19 pandemic. We did not observe any significant association between patient gender, level of education, or history of diabetes on the SARS-CoV-2 test result. Our cohort of KTRs showed no significant difference in ALC between patients who tested positive and negative for SARS-CoV-2 (Table 3 ). Though statistically significant in our small patient cohort, larger studies of KTRs with COVID-19 disease and a history of BKV will be required to confirm and better understand this association.	./cache/cord-296426-upwsdgso.txt	./txt/cord-296426-upwsdgso.txt
