Mönkemüller et al. brilliantly describe the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the gastrointestinal tract. Their findings highlight the local and systemic inflammatory response generated by the coronavirus. After having the opportunity to observe three cases of severe colonic ischemia and elevation of D-dimer levels in patients with COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (SARS) due to SARS-CoV-2, we would like to highlight the thromboembolic complications in COVID-19, which are related to those reported by Mönkemüller and which have been mentioned by other authors.
Mönkemüller 等人精彩地描述了 SARS-CoV-2（COVID-19）在胃肠道中的发病机制。他们的研究结果强调了冠状病毒引起的局部和全身炎症反应。在有机会观察到 COVID-19 患者因 SARS-CoV-2 引起的严重结肠缺血和 D-二聚体水平升高的三例以及严重急性呼吸窘迫综合征（SARS）的患者后，我们想强调 COVID-19 中的血栓栓塞并发症，这些并发症与 Mönkemüller 等人报道的以及其他作者提到的并发症有关。
