Background Determination of the release from isolation for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in immunocompromised patients who need additional hospitalization for treatment of non-COVID-19 related disease is important to prevent nosocomial transmission. However, there is insufficient evidence for an extended isolation period. Materials and Methods In September 2021, when the Delta variant was dominant, a nosocomial outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in the nephrology ward of a tertiary hospital in Gwangju, Korea. We conducted epidemiological investigations and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of this virus. Results A man who underwent kidney transplantation was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of acute kidney injury. He was diagnosed with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection during a pre-admission screening test on September 1, 2021 and underwent isolation. After 10 days of isolation in the COVID-19-designated ward, he was transferred to the general nephrology ward. He underwent steroid pulse therapy (September 17 to September 23, >60 mg/day prednisolone) due to acute T-cell rejection. On September 28, 2021, the first patient with COVID-19 was identified in the nephrology ward, and a rapid-response team was activated to identify additional patients with COVID-19 and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Epidemiological investigations revealed that 12 patients, two caregivers, and three healthcare workers from the nephrology ward were diagnosed with COVID-19. The WGS of specimens from 14 nosocomial outbreak samples and released an index patient exhibited the same Delta variant originating from the B.1.617.2 lineage. This hospital-acquired COVID-19 outbreak in the nephrology ward resulted in two (11.7%) deaths in patients who underwent kidney transplantation. Conclusion We demonstrated that an immunocompromised patient can cause a nosocomial outbreak due to the prolonged shedding of infectious viruses. Prolonged isolation in patients under active immunosuppressive therapy may be necessary to prevent transmission, especially in the hospital setting.
