can be detected in high rate, and even positivity continues longer than respiratory specimens, 2 and data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may spread via fecal-oral route. 3 Also, there is still a concern of infected lymphoid cells left in the donated intestine as active replicating SARS-CoV-2 has been found in intestinal tract. 4 Historically, donor stool microbiological testing has not been con- We hope this helps the transplant community to continue to conduct safe small bowel transplantation.
