Gastrointestinal sequelae 3 and 6 months after hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology Jul 28, 2021
Rizvi A, Patel Z, Liu Y, et al. - This research sought to present gastrointestinal (GI) sequelae 3 and 6 months after hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In COVID-19, gastrointestinal symptoms are highly prevalent ranging from 17.6 % to 53 %. It demonstrates that the proposed mechanism for GI symptoms involves SARS-CoV-2 virus binding to the host cell's angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptor, commonly found in GI tract epithelial cells. There is now interest in understanding post-COVID-19 sequelae with an increasing population of patients recovering from acute infection.
