Abstract
Diarrhea as a manifestation of COVID-19: A literature review
Ahmad Almaiman
The current global pandemic of Covid-19 (SARS_COV_2) has substantially affected our way of life. Through our understanding of its existence, we continue to see cases rising in quantities presenting with relevant manifestations that of respiratory etiology such as cough and shortness of breath. Other times, patients don’t present with any symptoms whatsoever. There are, however, few probable instances where this disease can manifest through less likely infective symptoms, mainly diarrhea. As the effect on the Gastrointestinal symptom is still elusive and well beyond our current knowledge, it is worthy to evaluate any patient with suspected diarrhea along with other complaints for Covid-19.
