Here we describe a case of HEV-3 infection transmitted by a kidney transplant donor. This case is distinguished by the mode of HEV transmission that is classically zoonotic in Europe, mostly foodborne, with pigs and wild boars as the main reservoir. While HEV transplant transmission had not been documented until 2012 [2], several cases have been described since then. The first case of liver transplant transmission was described in 2012 in Germany [27].

Introduction At the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, initial data from China indicated that children were significantly less affected by COVID-19 than adults and more frequently presented with mild and asymptomatic forms of the disease than adults (1). This has been later confirmed by many other publications and by seroprevalence studies from different parts of the world (2, 3).
