Several case reports and small case series have been published on COVID‐19 infection after solid organ transplantation, however, thus far there are limited data on COVID‐19 infections in lung transplant patients. In the present single center case series we discuss 10 lung transplant patients with a documented SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, diagnosed with nasophanryngeal swab in 8 and broncho‐alveolar lavage in 2. Eight /10 patients needed hospital admission, of whom 1 in the intensive care unit. He died after 2 weeks from multiple organ failure. The remaining 9 patients recovered. Cell cycle inhibitors were withheld in all patients, whereas the calcineurin inhibitor and corticosteroids were continued at the same dose, with an acceptable outcome.
