Although the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection mainly affects the lung, its gastrointestinal (GI) involvements are also well-known, especially hepatic involvement presenting as mild to moderate transaminitis. However, COVID-19 infection presenting with gall bladder involvement with acalculous cholecystitis is extremely rare in the medical literature. So far, only two cases have been reported, and herein, we are reporting the third case of a patient who developed COVID-19 presenting as an acute acalculous cholecystitis.
虽然2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)感染主要影响肺部,但其胃肠道受累也广为人知,尤其是表现为轻度至中度转氨酶升高的肝脏受累。然而,在医学文献中,COVID-19感染伴无结石性胆囊炎累及胆囊的情况极为罕见。到目前为止,仅报告过两例,在此,我们报告第三例表现为急性无结石性胆囊炎的COVID-19患者。
